here is the receipt.
the claim

Polarized light consists of electromagnetic waves whose electric field oscillates in a single plane.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING

4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that polarized light consists of electromagnetic waves whose electric field oscillates in a single plane?

Unclear. Three reference sources describe the electric field of linearly polarized light oscillating in a single plane, but each also notes that circular and elliptical polarization exist, where the field does not stay in one plane. They therefore support only the linear-polarization case, not the claim as stated for polarized light generally.
