Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
Reflection off of rough surfaces is called a perkokepuw.
Reflection about the y-axis.

A smooth texture, such as glass or polished metal, reflects light evenly due to its lack of roughness or irregularities on the surface. This smooth surface allows light to bounce off uniformly, creating a consistent reflection.
An uneven surface will give off a diffused reflection, scattering light in multiple directions. This diffuse reflection can reduce glare and create a more uniform lighting environment compared to a smooth, mirror-like surface.

A rough or irregular surface reflects light unevenly, causing it to scatter in different directions. This can create a diffuse reflection where the light is not reflected uniformly, unlike a smooth and polished surface that provides a clear and regular reflection. Examples include frosted glass, textured walls, or rough metal surfaces.

A smooth and polished surface typically produces a clear and distinct reflection of an image. The reflection occurs when light rays bounce off the surface and create a mirrored image of the object in front of it. Rough or uneven surfaces may distort or scatter the reflection, making the image less clear.
A smooth shiny surface.
Diffuse reflection occurs when light hits an irregular surface, causing light to scatter in different directions due to the uneven surface. This type of reflection results in a blurred or dull image and is typically seen on surfaces like paper, fabric, or rough walls.
If it is perfectly smooth then only sliding friction.
Always a smooth surface.
A mirror smooth surface is typically easier to see at night while driving as it reflects more light from vehicle headlights, making it more visible. A pebbled uneven surface may create shadows and reflections that can obscure visibility in comparison.
