The dots represent electric field oscillations parallel to the reflecting surface and perpendicular to the page. The arrows represent Electrons at the surface oscillating in the direction of the reflected ray (perpendicular to the dots and parallel to the blue arrow) send no energy in electric field oscillations perpendicular to those represented by the dots. this direction.
