It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."

How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?
When light strikes a smooth surface (like a mirror), it is reflected. When it hits a rough surface (like a sheet of paper) it is diffused, meaning the rays of light are scattered.
When light strikes a rough surface it is reflected in many directions This is known as?
Diffuse reflection
What type of reflection results when light strikes a rough surface like in the picture on the right?
Diffuse
When light reflects off a rough surface it travels together in a different direction True or False?
True. When light reflects off a rough surface, the reflection is diffuse, meaning the light rays scatter in different directions. This is in contrast to a smooth surface where the reflection is more specular, and the light rays travel in a predictable direction.
What happens when a ray of light hits metal?
It reflects off it. If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection, if rough then a random scatter of light.
What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?

What type of reflection results when light strikes a rough surface?
diffuse
Why does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
It reflects in different directions because its rough, there is many sides so the light reflects of the sides causing it to reflect in different directions.

Diffuse
Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object

What happens when a ray of light hits metal?
It reflects off it. If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection, if rough then a random scatter of light.
Why does a mirror reflect light so well?
Because it has a shiny & smooth surface which helps to reflect the light... Take an example of tree. A tree have a rough surface due to which light can be reflect. So All of this depends on the smoothness of surface.. :-)
Why a rough surface does not form an image?
The light on a rough surface reflects randomly and moves in random directions so therefore the original order has been disrupted so the new image will not resemble anything and is too spread out.
What do you call the reflection of light from a rough surface?
Reflection of light from a rough surface is known as "Diffused" or "Irregular" reflection, because the light rays are barely seen after the reflection of light from a rough surface.
