In the visible region of the spectrum,the rotation of the plane of polarization is given by $\theta = a + \frac{b}{\lambda^2}$. The optical rotation produced by a particular material is found to be $30^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 5000 \ \mathring{A}$ and $50^\circ$ per mm at $\lambda = 4000 \ \mathring{A}$. The value of constant $a$ will be:
