a mirror
It can reflect off a rough surface but the image is not clear ,causing an irregular reflection.
That surface would be called a "mirror".
Lots of objects can reflect an image. A mirror is simply a surface specially prepared to reflect much better than the average surface. The way light reflects off certain surfaces can produce an image.
Reflect.
I think it is because the disturbed surface made the light waves reflect in many directions , breaking up the image.

Reflect is a verb, it means to cast back light, heat, sight Etc. from a surface or to give back or show an image of. :) Hope this was some use.
Any smooth surface will reflect light. The better question is "How much light does each kind of smooth surface reflect?"
light is needed to reflect an image off a mirror...no light no reflection
Specular reflection is when light rays reflect off a surface uniformly in a single direction, like a mirror. Diffuse reflection is when light rays reflect off a surface in many different directions, like a matte surface. Specular reflection creates a clear image, while diffuse reflection scatters light in all directions.
its surface
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.. :-)
Reflect.
The term used to describe ' how a mineral reflect light from its surface ' is Lustre .
Highly polished, shiny surfaces reflect light the best as they are REFLECTive. White or bright surfaces also reflect light well. Dull, Matt surfaces are the worst reflecters of light
