We have investigated the size effect (quasi-classical size effect) in nanocomposites. It was shown that the size effect can change the amplitude, form and sign of the optical and magnetooptical spectra. We have deduced formulas for size effect and discussed the applications of the distributions for corrected description of optical and magnetooptical properties with regard to the granule size effect. It is very important to consider the distribution on the granule size in size effect. This fact allows to describe optical and magnetooptical spectra of nanocomposites better, especially in near IR due to intraband electron transitions. We have deduced formulas for size effect and discussed applications of the distributions for corrected description of optical and magnetooptical properties with regard to the effect of the granule size.
