Does rough surfaces exert greater friction?

Yes. Think about two steep hills. One is covered in ice (smooth). The other is covered in sandpaper (rough). The ice covered hill would be MUCH easier to slide down. Thus, the friction is much LESS, on a SMOOTH SURFACE. Then the opposite must be true, that friction is GREATER on a ROUGH SURFACE.

What will be the effect of incident ray of light striking a rough surface compared to the same rays striking a smooth surface?

If the surface is completely reflective then the angle at which the incident light leaves the surface will be different. For a rough surface the light would be scattered, whereas for a smooth surface they would reflect at the same angle the hit. If the surface isn't completely reflective then the angle and speed and which the light enters the object. For a rough surface the angles will random and based on the refractive index of the material. For a smooth surface they will be proportional to the sin of the angle times the refractive index.


Which one is right --- unsmooth or non-smooth?

Both might be ok, informally, with different meaning. Unsmooth would be a verb, meaning to roughen, as a surface: I unsmoothed it with scratchy, rough sand-paper. Non-smooth would be an adjective: Stand on the non-smooth part for better traction. But it is better to use roughen for the verb and rough for the adjective.

Some feel smooth because it has been eroded away by the current of the water for a very, very long time. The more rough rocks have not been succumb to as much erosion, therefore it is not smooth yet.
