Question

What kind of scattering (Rayleigh, Mie, or non-selective) would you expect to be most important when radiation of the specified wavelength encounters the following natural or anthropogenic particles?

Wavelength O2molecules Smoke particles Cloud droplets Rain droplets
(size 10-10m) (size 0.3 mm) (size 20 mm) (size 3 mm)
200 nm
0.6 mm
10 mm
1.0 mm
1.0 km

Answer 1

hello your question is not properly arranged attached below is the arranged table and solution

answer : attached table below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

02 molecules size = 10^-10m

smoke particles size = 0.3 mm

cloud droplets size = 20 mm

Rain droplets size = 3 mm

Attached below is a table showing the kind of scattering that is expected to occur at various wave lengths

Note : For Rayleigh scattering the wave particle is smaller than the wave length while for Non-selective scattering the wave particle is greater than the wavelength.

and For Mie scattering the wavelength is the same as the wavelength.
