I cab't tell very well but there's a photo at:

Where light seems to vibrate in the same orientation as the magnetic
field, is this correct?

Electric charges vibrate. The E plane of the vibration is
perpendicular
to the H plane.

Fill in this donut with concentric circles.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/L-over2-rad-pat-pe...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization

The MIT picture is 2 or 3 cubes from the donut.



If not was is the direction of the light's vibes in respect to the E
and M fields?

The light doesn't vibe. The charges in the emitter, absorber
and dielectric do.

A person would not understand your explanation to such a simple
question? look at Randy's answers.
