Question

Making a light wave vibrate in only one plane is known as:

✓

Answer

Polarization.

Explanation:
Light in the form of a plane wave in space is said to be linearly polarized. Light is a transverse electromagnetic wave, but natural light is generally unpolarized, all planes of propagation being equally probable.
The process of making the light wave vibrated in a single plane is known as polarization.
