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.

Why does light reflect better off of smooth surfaces than rough surfaces?
smooth surface
What type of surface reflect heat?
light and smooth surfaces reflect heat energy
What type of reflection results when light strikes a smooth surface?
Regular
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.
What is the difference between emitting and reflecting?
reflected light comes from smooth surfaces such as mirrors
Why does light reflect better off of smooth surfaces than rough surfaces?
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.
Which smooth surfaces reflect light?
Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
What type of surface reflect heat?
light and smooth surfaces reflect heat energy
What type of reflection results when light strikes a smooth surface?
Regular
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.
What is splitting into pieces with smooth regular surfaces that reflect light?
Cleavage
What is it when light bounces off surfaces that are not very smooth?
diffuse reflection
Light from a smooth surface is what kind of reflection?
Light reflections off of a smooth surface are considered to be spectral. Light reflections off of rough surfaces are considered to be diffuse
Does a rough surface reflect light in many directions?
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
What happens when light strikes a smooth shiny colored glass?
.Most of it is absorbed.none is reflected
What is the difference between emitting and reflecting?
reflected light comes from smooth surfaces such as mirrors
