Solution :
1. Rayleigh scattering takes place when the particle size is smaller than the wavelength (λ).
2. Mie scattering takes place when particle size is nearly equal to the wavelength (λ).
3. Non-selective scatter takes place when particle size in greater than the wavelength (λ).
We have the sizes of different particles :

Smoke particles [tex]$\rightarrow 3 \times 10^{-7} \ m$[/tex]
Cloud droplets [tex]$\rightarrow 2 \times 10^{-5} \ m$[/tex]
