As with any surface, some of the light will be absorbed by the surface and some will be reflected. If the surface is rough, then the reflected light leaves the surface in a huge number of different directions and so the original beam is not reflected coherently, but is instead scattered in myriad directions.
When light is reflected from a rough or unpolished surface, the reflected light scatters in multiple directions rather than reflecting uniformly like it would from a smooth surface. This scattering of light creates a diffuse reflection, resulting in a matte appearance rather than a mirror-like reflection.

Diffuse scattering.
When light is reflected from a rough or unpolished surface, it is scattered in various directions due to the uneven surface. This diffused reflection causes the light to be reflected in an irregular manner, resulting in a lack of a clear or focused image.
It diffuses.

When light encounters a smooth surface, it undergoes one of two processes: reflection or refraction. Reflection occurs when light bounces off a surface at the same angle it hit it. Refraction occurs when light passes through the surface, causing it to change speed and bend. Both processes are influenced by the properties of the material and the angle at which the light hits the surface.
Bouncing of light from a surface refers to the phenomena of reflection, where light rays striking a surface are redirected back into the medium they came from. This reflection occurs due to the smoothness and the angle of the surface.

The change in direction that occurs when a light ray bounces off of a surface is called reflection. Reflection is determined by the angle of incidence (angle at which the light ray hits the surface) and the angle of reflection (angle at which the light ray bounces off the surface).
When a ray of light falls on a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction that occurs depends on the properties of the surface, such as its material and texture.
