The planes of vibration and polarization are:
Correct answer: A. Orthogonal
- A. Orthogonal
- B. Parallel
- C. Non-existent
- D. Orthogonal and parallel
Explanation
A is the right option because The planes of vibration and polarization are orthogonal to each other. Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field vector in light waves, while the plane of vibration refers to the direction in which the wave oscillates.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
