Why are image reflected from a rough surface not as clear as those reflected from a smooth surface?
Some light that falls on any surface is scattered back (reflected). A rough surface tends to scatter the light in different directions while a smooth surface tends to scatter more of the original (incident) rays straight back. This explains why a smooth surface reflects a "clearer" image than that reflected from a rough surface.
What happen when light rays hit the smooth surface?
All the rays of light will be reflected to the source
