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.

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 happens when light hits a rough surface?

Does a plane mirror produce regular or diffuse reflections?

A flat plane mirror produces regular reflections since its polished reflective surface is flat compared to the wavelength of light. If the surface is rough or irregular compared to the wavelength, the light will be scattered, resulting in diffuse reflection.


What occurs when a parrellel rays of light hits a rough surface?

The light rays are deflected off at the same angles as the angles on the rough surface.

How lights behave when it strikes in smooth and rough surface?

When light strikes a smooth surface (like a mirror), it is reflected. When it hits a rough surface (like a sheet of paper) it is diffused, meaning the rays of light are scattered.
