The ratio of the angle that the light rotate to the time in seconds should be equal. One revolution is equal to 360 degrees. Let x be the time it would take to rotate 90 degrees,
                               360 degrees / 4 seconds = 90 degrees / x seconds
The value of x is 1. Therefore, it would take only 1 second to rotate 90 degrees.
