it is the one and only thing that causes the light to bounce back and it is known as the one and only thing.......... Actually not thing but yes............., no................ Leave it. The thing is REFLECTION. Ya, my dear and dearest friends it is REFLECTION.

What is it called when light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Scattering of light.
What does it mean when light rays hit a smooth surface and bounce back at the same angle?
reflection
When light bounces back at the same in which it hit an object?
When light hits an object/surface, it's either reflected, absorbed, or refracted. For light to bounce back, the reflection has to be "specular", like a mirror. So the light bounces back with the same(reflected) image. For light to be reflected back at the source. The light has to hit perpendicular to the surface, which is 90°.
When light rays hit a rough surface and bounce back at different angles?
Light will be both absorbed and will be reflected unevenly (scattered) when impinging on a surface that is irregular. It depends on the light and the surface, but some light will be absorbed, and the rest (a little or a lot) will be scattered when it is reflected in different directions.
Light waves bounce off the surfaces of most objects?
it depends on the surface. the ability for a light wave 2 "bounce off" lies in whether or not the substance will absorb that certain frequency of light...and the type of surface (i.e. smooth or rough)

What surface would bounce back almost all the light waves that hit it?
A Mirror
What does it mean when light rays hit a smooth surface and bounce back at the same angle?
reflection
To bounce sound or light from a surface?
Reflect

Does light bounce back if reflected?
yes it does

What is the term for when light rays bounce of a surface?
I think 'reflection' is the term you are looking for.
What is it called when waves bounce from a surface back toward the source?
reflection
What happens when light waves get reflected?
The light waves bounce off the surface and travel in a new direction
Can you see reflective materials without light why?
no when a light hits an object the light will bounce back
