What is meant by plane polarization? How does this phenomenon explain that waves are transverse in nature?

It is a type of polarization in which the electric vector of waves of light or other electromagnetic radiation is restricted to vibration in a single plane.
A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (right angled) to the direction of energy transfer (or the propagation of the wave).
If a transverse wave is moving in the positivex-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane.
Light is an example of a transverse wave, while sound is a longitudinal wave. A ripple in a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized as transverse waves.
