The light will be absorbed and reflected unevenly.
When light hits an irregular surface is when its a diffuse reflection.
what happens when parallel when parallel rays of light hit smooth surface
diffuse reflection
Regular reflection
It diffuses.
diffuse reflection
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.
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
It is reflected.

The light rays are deflected off at the same angles as the angles on the rough surface.
Diffuse reflections are formed when light hits a rough or irregular surface, causing it to scatter in different directions instead of reflecting in a single direction like a mirror. This scattering occurs because the surface is not flat and smooth enough to reflect light uniformly, resulting in a diffused reflection where light is reflected in multiple directions.
reflection, refraction, and reflection occurs because of how the beam of light hits. and where it hits.
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
Light can either be reflected, refracted, or absorbed when it hits something.
Light changes direction when it hits a shiny surface
