As most paper's surface is rough at microscopic levels therefore they do reflect the light but the light reflected y them is scattered over a large surface due to its rough texture.......As they do not reflect light in a particular direction like mirrors therefore they seems not to reflect the light.....

Is it true that most paper does not reflect light very well because its surface is somewhat rough?
its not true . light does not refelct on a rough sruface . so , the paper apears to be white . - Sabryna O'Brien
Why does paper reflect light?
White reflects more light than any other colour, while black absorbs more light than any other color. To get technical, photons that are not absorbed by the paper will bounce off (be reflected by) the paper and make it appear lighter or white. Short answer: because most paper is white.
What is the best color to use to reflect light rays?
The best color to use to reflect light rays is white. White is a reflective color. So are most light colors. So white is the best color to use to reflect light rays. :)
What does a reflection mean?
A shape that can reflect most of the light back.
Which surface is MOST likely to reflect light and form an image?
a mirror
True or false-most paper does not reflect light very well because its sureface is somewhat rough?
Well, yes, if by "reflect very well" you mean "reflect like a mirror". White paper can have a fairly high albedo, though - referring to the percentage of light reflected.

Does the color of paper effect the amount of heat it absorbs?
Yes some colors will take the light for itself and some color reflect the light! Black will absurb the most and brown is the least.
Opaque absorb or reflect light?
Glass reflects some of the light that hits it, absorbs some of the lightthat enters it, but 'transmits' most of the light that hits it. That's whyyou can see things through it pretty easily.
Does a marbel surface reflect light?
Unless it is jet black, yes. Most surfaces reflect some light.
How do you make working model on street light?
Most objects do not give off their own light; it has to reflect light to be seen. Shine a laser onto a mirror and hold a piece of paper up in front of the mirror, watch how the rays bounce from the laser to the mirror and off onto the paper.
What colors absorb the most light and which colors reflect the most light?
Black absorbs the most light and white reflects the most.
What color of the rainbow reflects the most light?
A rainbow is composed of light. Light does not reflect light.
What colors seem to reflect light best?
Shiny like silver then white then light colours, reflect most light Sometimes gold can do it, or like a yellow
What colors of the visible light spectrum are absorbed by white objects?
It will reflect more light per unit area, if that's what you mean.
What is the best color to use to reflect light rays?
The best color to use to reflect light rays is white. White is a reflective color. So are most light colors. So white is the best color to use to reflect light rays. :)
