Is light reflected evenly on rough surface?
No, it is not.
What occurs when light is relected from a rough or unpolished surface?
As with any surface, some of the light will be absorbed by the surface and some will be reflected. If the surface is rough, then the reflected light leaves the surface in a huge number of different directions and so the original beam is not reflected coherently, but is instead scattered in myriad directions.
When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
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.)
Why does a rough surface like paper scatter reflected light rather than reflecting it in an organised way?

Occurs when light is reflected in many directions from a rough surface?
Diffuse reflection
Is light reflected evenly on rough surface?
No, it is not.
When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflected light does what while producing no image?
Bounces off
What would occur when light is reflected from a rough or unpolished surface?
interference

Diffuse reflection
Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflective light does what producing no image?
because the surface is rough, the waves of light are reflected at different angles, and so r scattered all over the place, hence giving a blurry, or in some cases no image at all
When light strikes a rough surface it is reflected in many directions This is known as?
Diffuse reflection
How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?
When light strikes a smooth surface (like a mirror), it is reflected. When it hits a rough surface (like a sheet of paper) it is diffused, meaning the rays of light are scattered.
When a rough surface causes light rays to be reflected in many directions what reflection occurs?
Randomized.
