No, not all light bulbs produce polarized light. The polarization of light depends on the source of light and its characteristics. LED and fluorescent light bulbs can produce polarized light, while incandescent bulbs generally do not produce polarized light.
Circularly polarized light can be obtained from linearly polarized light by passing it through a quarter-wave plate. This plate delays one of the orthogonal components of the linearly polarized light by a quarter of a wavelength, leading to a phase shift that results in circular polarization.
Yes, polarized light consists of waves that are oriented in one direction only, which means the electric field vibrations occur in a particular plane. This orientation is achieved through the use of a polarizing filter that allows light waves oscillating in one plane to pass through while blocking light waves oscillating in other planes.
In polarized light, the plane of the electrical (and magnetic) oscillations is the same for all photons (particles of light). For example, if the light is traveling away from you, all photons might have electrical oscillations that go up and down.
unpolarized light = light waves vibrate in more than one plane Polarized light = vibrations of light waves occur in a single plane.

polarized light
Polarized light is a type of light in which the electromagnetic waves vibrate in a single plane. This means that all the waves are oriented in the same direction, leading to a specific polarization state.

Such light is said to be polarized.
It is called 'polarized light' .

Polarized light waves
Light waves that vibrate in only one plane are called polarized light. This means that the electric field of the light wave oscillates in a single direction. Polarized light can be achieved through polarization filters or by reflecting light off certain surfaces.
Light waves are transverse because the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. This is evident in phenomena such as polarization, where the electric field vibrates in a certain direction. The behavior of light waves can be accurately described by Maxwell's equations, which govern the behavior of electromagnetic fields.
