Is a regular reflection the reflection of light from a rough surface?

with rough surface, the light hitting it will reflect incoherently, meaning it will be scattered in every direction and with smooth surfaces like ice or mirror the light will reflect coherently, all going in the same direction

∙ 14y agoLight reflects from all sorts of surfaces. "Regular reflection" is not a technical term that I'm familiar with.
However, you may be asking if you normally see light that has come from an object in everyday life...
And yes, without reflection (and refraction) we would not see anything but direct light sources.

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
Does regular reflection takes place on a rough surface?
what is a regular reflection
What is the reflection of light from a rough surface called?
Diffused reflection.
When light waves hit a rough surface they create what type of reflection?
When light waves hit a rough surface they create a diffuse reflection. This means that the waves spread out in different angles.
Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
Differentiate regular reflection from diffuse reflection?
Regular Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a smooth surface. Diffuse Reflection= Happens when light reflects off a rough surface. Reflection= The bouncing of waves, off a surface or and object
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 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

How is regular reflection different from irregular reflection?
Regular reflection is by a plane and shiny surface while the irregular one is from a rough surface.
What is the reflection of light from a rough surface called?
Diffused reflection.
When light waves hit a rough surface they create what type of reflection?
When light waves hit a rough surface they create a diffuse reflection. This means that the waves spread out in different angles.
What kind of reflection is the reflection of light from a rough surface?
scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
What type of reflection results when light strikes a rough surface?
diffuse
Does light reflect off a rough surface?
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
When light bounces off of a shiny surface what is it said to be?
When light bounces of a shiny surface, such as a mirror, this is called specular reflection.(Diffuse reflection is when light bounces of a rough surface, such as a wall. You can tell it's a rough surface because you can't see your reflection.)
What occurs when rays of light hit a rough or bumpy surface?
diffuse reflection
