Scientific paper

Calculations of the extinction and polarization profiles in the wavelength range lambda lambda 2.7-22 μm have been performed for silicate core - icy mantle spheroidal grains using the exact solution to the light scattering problem and the Rayleigh approximation. It is concluded that the 10% accuracy of the Rayleigh approximation is guaranteed in the case of extinction (polarization) if the particle size does not exceed r <~ 1.15 μm (1.10 μm ), 0.85 μm (0.35 μm ), 0.25 μm (0.15 μm ) within the 18 μm , 10 μm and 3 μm bands respectively, where r is the radius of a sphere with the same volume as a spheroid.
