When light is reflected from a rough surface the reflective light does what producing no image?
because the surface is rough, the waves of light are reflected at different angles, and so r scattered all over the place, hence giving a blurry, or in some cases no image at all
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.
When light bounces back at the same in which it hit an object?
When light hits an object/surface, it's either reflected, absorbed, or refracted. For light to bounce back, the reflection has to be "specular", like a mirror. So the light bounces back with the same(reflected) image. For light to be reflected back at the source. The light has to hit perpendicular to the surface, which is 90°.
Why don't you see your reflected image when you at a white rough surface?
If the surface is rought, light may be reflected in just about any direction. There is not the "organized" or "coordinated" reflection which you see in smooth surfaces.If the surface is rought, light may be reflected in just about any direction.

Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image?
A reflecting telescope "Has a mirror that collects light which is reflected to the eyepiece to show the image".
How does light reflected?
Light can be reflected because it bounces off a surface at an angle.
Term that means reflected light?
image
What is reflected light from the water or light?
Water is a completely smooth surface and light is reflected from the sun.
What is a copy of an object formed by reflected or refracted rays of light?
An image is a copy of an object fromed by reflected (or refracted) rays of light.

Why can you see your reflection in a car after it has been washed and waxed?
It depends on the car. A2 A rough surface scatters reflected light in all directions, it is harder to make out an image. A polished surface evens out surface, so that reflected light behaves more like a mirror. The wax fits into the irregularities in the paint finish. Polishing then makes this flat. For a correct image to be seen, the surface must reflect the light, back the way it came, insted of at an angle.
What is the name of the ray that represents the light reflected by the surface.?
Reflected ray
