Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called polarized.
When all of the light waves vibrate in the same plane, it is known as linearly polarized light. The electric field vectors of the waves oscillate in a single direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation. This property is commonly observed in polarized sunglasses, where only light waves oscillating in a specific plane are allowed to pass through.
"polarized"
Polarized light is a type of light in which the electromagnetic waves vibrate in a single plane. This means that all the waves are oriented in the same direction, leading to a specific polarization state.
Light waves vibrate in three dimensions: they have electric field and magnetic field components that oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
Light waves passing through horizontal slits vibrate in a vertical direction, perpendicular to the direction of the slit. This polarization of the light waves is caused by the orientation of the slits relative to the light source.

Light waves propagate through a medium by oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Transverse light waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, while longitudinal waves vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation.
The electric and magnetic field vibrate perpendicular to the direction in which the light wave propagates (and perpendicular among themselves). Light is thus a transverse wave.
No, it isn't one direction, otherwise there would not have been vibration at all! In normal light, the electric field vibrates in planes which are perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving. In polarised light, the electric field vibrates in only one plane which is perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving.. (3 dimension has been considered in the answer; this is why plane(s) have been used in the answer)
Yes
All types of waves vibrate as they transport energy without transporting matter. Examples include light waves, sound waves, and water waves. The vibration of the waves determines their frequency and wavelength.
