What occurs when light hits a irregular surface?
The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
What reflection occurs when light hits an irregular surface?
Each ray of light is reflected according to the rules for a regular surface. But, because the surface is irregular, the direction of the reflected ray will vary from one point to another. This is called scattering.
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
What occurs when light hits an irregular surface?
It diffuses.
When a beam of light strikes a rough surface it reflects at?
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."

What do you call the reflection of light from a rough surface?
Reflection of light from a rough surface is known as "Diffused" or "Irregular" reflection, because the light rays are barely seen after the reflection of light from a rough surface.

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!

Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
What is the term for reflection of a light wave from and uneven surface?
A wave reflecting from an irregular surface experiences what is called as Diffuse or irregular Reflection. If light is reflected from a smooth surface (think of a mirror) then it is called specular reflection. With diffuse reflection, light goes off from the surface in a range of directions which does not create a reflected image. In diffuse reflection, one sees basically a chaotic sampling of light reflected from the object emitting the light and so normally one can detect little about shape and only get information about the colors of the light source.
What occurs when rays of light hit a rough or bumpy surface?
diffuse reflection
What occurs when parallel rays of light a rough or bumpy surface?
diffuse reflection
Occurs when light is reflected in many directions from a rough surface?
Diffuse reflection
