Regular reflection happens.
The lights come out parallel.
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
what occurs when parallel rays of light hit a rough or a bumpy surface
They are reflected :)
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
It reflects off it. If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection, if rough then a random scatter of light.

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.

Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
It reflects off it. If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection, if rough then a random scatter of light.
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
When light bounces off something, it is reflected.
