### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Polarization**: - Polarization refers to the orientation of the oscillations of a wave. In the context of electromagnetic waves, it involves restricting the oscillations to a single plane. 2. **Types of Waves**: - Waves can be classified into two main types: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. - **Transverse Waves**: In these waves, the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Examples include electromagnetic waves (like light, X-rays, etc.). ...
