Detailed explanation-1: -Polarized waves are light waves in which the vibrations occur in a single plane. Plane polarized light consists of waves in which the direction of vibration is the same for all waves. In the image above, you can see that a plane polarized light vibrates on only one plane.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polarization of light is defined as the phenomenon which occurs due to the wave nature of light. In this phenomenon vibrations of light get restricted in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of a wave. Polarization of light proves that light is a transverse wave.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polarization by reflection. Unpolarized light has equal amounts of vertical and horizontal polarization. After interaction with a surface, the vertical components are preferentially absorbed or refracted, leaving the reflected light more horizontally polarized.
