Answer:
when an unpolarized light falls on a Polaroid only those electric vectors that are oscillating along a direction perpendicular to the aligned molecules will pass through. thus incident light gets linearly polarised. electric vectors which are along the direction of aligned molecules gets absorbed.

Natural light is unpolarised i.e, the electric vector takes all possible directions in the transverse plane, rapidly and randomly, during a measurement. A polarizer transits only one components. This resulting light is called linear or plane polarized
