In what light does all of the light waves vibrate in the same plane?
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.
Ordinary light waves vibrate in all directions light that vibrates only in a specific plane is said to be?
"polarized"
What is light that vibrates only in one direction?
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 how many dimensions?
Light waves vibrate in three dimensions: they have electric field and magnetic field components that oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
How do light waves that pass through horizontal slits vibrate?
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.
What is it when all light waves vibrate in the same plane?
It's polarized light

How do light waves propagate through a medium, and what is the difference between transverse and longitudinal light waves?
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.
Do polarized light consists of waves that vibrate in one direction only?
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)
What direction do light waves vibrate in?
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.
Does Polarized light occurs when light waves vibrate in all directions?
Yes
What does Polarized light vibrates in?
For plane polarized light the electric vector of the light ray is allowed to vibrate in a single plane, producing a simple sine wave with a vibration direction lying in the plane of polarization - this is termed plane light or plane polarized light.
