Indicate the signals used for unpolarised,polarised,and partially polarised light.
(N/A) The signal with $\vec{E}$ vectors parallel to the page for plane-polarised light is shown in figure $(a)$.
The signal with $\vec{E}$ vectors perpendicular to the page for plane-polarised light is shown in figure $(b)$.
Unpolarised light signals are shown in two ways in figure $(c)$,where $(i)$ represents the light propagating along the axis with vibrations in all directions in the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation,and $(ii)$ shows the combination of vertical and horizontal components.
The signal for partially polarised light is shown in figure $(d)$,which indicates an unequal distribution of vibrations in different directions.

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.
