what is a regular 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
Diffused reflection.
diffuese
with rough surface, the light hitting it will reflect incoherently, meaning it will be scattered in every direction and with smooth surfaces like ice or mirror the light will reflect coherently, all going in the same direction
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.

Regular reflection is by a plane and shiny surface while the irregular one is from a rough surface.
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
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.
diffuse is brighter than regular

scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
When light waves hit a rough surface they create a diffuse reflection. This means that the waves spread out in different angles.
