When light waves hit a rough surface they create a diffuse reflection. This means that the waves spread out in different angles.
Diffused reflection.
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
Diffuse reflection
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.
Diffused reflection.
scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
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
