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.

How does light behave when it strikes a smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.they break
What type of reflection results when light strikes a smooth surface?
Regular
What happen when light strikes surfaces that are NOT smooth?
If the surface is shiny then you might get an image on a screen. If the surface is transparent as well then refraction well also take place.
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
Is the force is greater on a smooth surface or on a rough surface?
smooth surface.

What does light do when it strikes a surface that is not smooth?
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave is?
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave bounces off. This means that the wave is deflected.
