Light waves oscillate in the two dimensions perpendicular to it's direction of travel, meaning that they oscillate radially from the centre of the line of travel. Adding a specific filter will cancel out all these oscillations except for in a single plane, whose first axis can be defined as being the direction it is travelling in, and the second being a single line perpendicular to this direction.

Are light waves that oscillate only in a single plane polarized or unplaced?
'Polarised'.
What waves can be polarised heat waves or sound wavesgive reason?
Any transverse waves can be polarised because the vibrations are confined to one plane. Therefore sound can be polarised. Because there is a position when the sounds plane of polarisation is at right angles to the polariser and no waves can pass through. Hope this helped may seem complicated now but believe me it will get easier :)
Can longitudinal wave be polarised?
No, the longitudinal wave can't be polarised. Because polarisation means lack of symmetry. But longitudinal waves are symmetrical from all the sides of vision. This is because their plane of propagation and vibration is same. this wave loks same from all the sides.
How can electromagnetic waves become polarised?
Through an atmosphere of Ozone, electromagnetic waves can become polarised.
What is working principal of polarimeter?
The plane polarised light passes through Sample the light Rotates through optical activity.the light rotate right side i.e.dextro rotatory or the light rotate left side i.e.leavo rotatory

What is Plane light?
A polarized light vibrating in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation is called plane polarised light.

Why are sound waves not polarized?
Sound waves (in gas, liquid and sometimes in solid) are longitudinal, not transversal. They cannot be polarised. Sound waves (sometimes in solid) are always "polarised" as the medium must move in a single plane perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Can longitudinal wave be polarised?
No, the longitudinal wave can't be polarised. Because polarisation means lack of symmetry. But longitudinal waves are symmetrical from all the sides of vision. This is because their plane of propagation and vibration is same. this wave loks same from all the sides.
What is the difference between spontaneous emission of radiation and stimulated emission of radiation?
The laser causes the stimulated emission of radiation. The light emitted is monochromatic and coherent,that is plane polarised. I imagine that spontaneous emission occurs in a Light emitting diode ,monochromatic but not polarised. Hope this is of help
What is meant by the the term air charter?
The term air charter usually refers to a private jet or a private airline. The term charter alone is a small plane used to transport only people across the ocean.

What effect does sodium hypochlorite have on dyed cotton strips?
sodium hypochlorite is observed to have lower the angle between tilted plane polarised light and turn the path elliptic
How do you identify isomers?
plane polarised light is being used. A solution of one enantiomer rotates the plane of polarisation in a clockwise direction. This enantiomer is known as the (+) form. A solution of the other enantiomer rotates the plane of polarisation in an anti-clockwise direction. This enantiomer is known as the (-) form. If the solutions are equally concentrated the amount of rotation caused by the two isomers is exactly the same - but in opposite directions. When optically active substances are made in the lab, they often occur as a 50/50 mixture of the two enantiomers. This is known as a racemic mixture or racemate. It has no effect on plane polarised light.
