Is reflection of light from smooth walls of our house regular or not?

It's not regular. If it were, the walls would be mirrors. Very few surfaces are actually smooth on the microscopic level, so most scatter light fairly randomly.

Is the reflection of light by the smooth walls of your house regular or irregular?
irregular
What type of reflection results when light strikes a smooth surface?
Regular
What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
What are the kinds of reflections?
the two ways in which a surface can reflect light are regular reflection and diffuse reflection.
Is the reflection of light by the smooth walls of your house regular or irregular?
irregular
If a beam of light falls on a smooth wall will you observe regular reflection or diffuse reflection?
It will be diffuse reflection. No matter how smooth the wall looks it is rough on a microscopic scale and will scatter the light.
What type of reflection happens when a straight ray of light hits smooth mirrors?
When a straight light ray hits a smooth mirror, the regular reflection happens.
What type of reflection results when light strikes a smooth surface?
Regular
What happens when light strikes a smooth surface?
When light bounces off something, it is reflected.
Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
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
How does light reflect off a smooth surface like a mirror?
A regular reflection.
What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
What type of reflection occurs when light bounces off of a SMOOTH surface such as a mirror?
Specular reflection occurs when light bounces off of a smooth surface such as a mirror!
What happens when light travel through smooth and rough surfaces?
Parallel light rays which fall on a smooth surface(a mirror) are reflected as parallel rays. This is called REGULAR REFLECTION. Whereas, parallel rays which fall on an irregular surface(The ground) are reflected in different directions. This is called irregular reflection.
What are the kinds of reflections?
the two ways in which a surface can reflect light are regular reflection and diffuse reflection.
