Want this question answered?
the two ways in which a surface can reflect light are regular reflection and diffuse reflection.
The types are: a. regular reflection, where a beam coming from a specific direction is reflected at another specific direction, and: b. diffuse reflection, where the beam is scattered to all directions.
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
1.Regular Reflection takes place only on a smooth and higly polished surface.Eg. Mirror 2.Regular reflection has application of laws of reflections. 1. Irregular(diffuse) reflection takes place on irregular surfaces , with high no. of grooves. Eg. walls 2. Laws of reflection do not apply in irregular relfection.
Specular reflection is from smooth surfaces, and the light is reflected at a definite angle. Diffuse reflection is from rough surfaces, and the light is scattered in all directions. The difference between Specular Reflection and a Diffuse Reflection is that Specular Reflection is from a mirror- like surface, which creates an image of its surroundings. Diffuse reflection is from a rough surface, which does not create a clear image but instead allows you to see what is on the surface.

diffuse is brighter than regular
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

It will be diffuse reflection. No matter how smooth the wall looks it is rough on a microscopic scale and will scatter the light.

The angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. In regular reflection, parallel rays strike are reflected from smooth surface at the same angle in diffuse reflection, parallel rays strike and are reflected from a bumpy surface at different angles.
A flat plane mirror produces regular reflections since its polished reflective surface is flat compared to the wavelength of light. If the surface is rough or irregular compared to the wavelength, the light will be scattered, resulting in diffuse reflection.
