What happens when parallel rays of light hit a smooth surface?
Regular reflection happens.
What happen when light rays hit the smooth surface?
All the rays of light will be reflected to the source
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 happens when light rays hits a very smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
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.

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.

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.
What does it mean when light rays hit a smooth surface and bounce back at the same angle?
reflection
When all the light rays are reflected at the same angle because of a smooth surface you see?
A reflection
What does light rays bouncing off the surface of an object mean?
Scattering if it happens at random and said to be "reflection" if it is stream lined.
