An unpolarized light of intensity $I_0$ passes through a polarizer,then through a certain optically active solution,and finally through an analyzer. If the angle between the analyzer and the polarizer is $0^{\circ}$ and the intensity of light emerging from the analyzer is $\frac{3}{8} I_0$,the angle of rotation of the light by the solution with respect to the analyzer is . . . . . . degrees.
