It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
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.
Diffuse reflection
Diffuse
True. When light reflects off a rough surface, the reflection is diffuse, meaning the light rays scatter in different directions. This is in contrast to a smooth surface where the reflection is more specular, and the light rays travel in a predictable direction.
It reflects off it. If the surface is smooth you get an orderly reflection, if rough then a random scatter of light.
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.

diffuse
It reflects in different directions because its rough, there is many sides so the light reflects of the sides causing it to reflect in different directions.
Diffuse reflection
Diffuse
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

Because it has a shiny & smooth surface which helps to reflect the light... Take an example of tree. A tree have a rough surface due to which light can be reflect. So All of this depends on the smoothness of surface.. :-)
The light on a rough surface reflects randomly and moves in random directions so therefore the original order has been disrupted so the new image will not resemble anything and is too spread out.
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.
