Why don't you see your reflected image when you look at 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.

Explain why you don't see your reflected image when you look at a white rough surface?
The "roughness" of the surface will reflect light into many directions, scattering it away from your eyes. If the white surface is opaque, it's probably filtering out some wavelengths and would not be very reflective, although it is giving off "white light"
How is a reflection of light off a white wall similar to the reflection of light off a mirror?
when light hits an object some light is absorbed and some is reflected. when it hits a mirror, almost all of that light is reflected. when it hits a white wall a lot of the light is reflected but not enough to form an image our i can detect. a wall is also not smooth so the light is reflected at billions of different angles
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
Which colors are reflected by a white shirt?
All colors are reflected by white. This is why white clothing is cooler than black or dark colored clothing.
What colors of light are reflected by a white object?
A white object reflects all the colors making up white light. Therefore the reflected color will still be white.
Why don't you see your reflects image when you look at a Rough white surface?
Severe distortion.

Why can't you see your face in the page of the book?
The color of book is white so that's why the image of yourself ABSORB by the color white. It was not reflected
How do you determine a minereal?
it is determined when you rub the mineral on a hard, rough, white surface.
Why the color of crumpled plastic white?
The color of crumpled plastic is white because it reflects light of all wavelengths in the visable range. Light is reflected from a reflective surface at approximately 2 precent of the total light shining on it. When there is a second reflective surface beneath it light is also reflected but if both photons are in the same phase then the square of the total from both surfaces is reflested back ie. 16 percent, if they are out of phase they cancel out and no light is reflected. So when several reflective surfaces are layerd most of the light is reflected. If it is illuminated by white light then white light will be reflected.
If white things reflect all colors of light then why aren't they mirrors?
The difference is that a mirror has to be VERY smooth, so that the image doesn't get all scrambled as it is reflected. When light is reflected off of a white object, it all goes in random directions.

What is a characteristic of an image produced from a transmission electron microscope A. It is black and white. B. It shows the surface of objects. C. It does?
It is black and white.
What happens when white light is shone into a mirror?
It reflects back and a small amount is absorbed into its reflective surface.
What are the minerals in steak?
the minerals that a chicken has is iron, cholesterol and proteins
What happens when the sun shines on a white surface?
The light from the sun, which is made up of equal parts of red, green and blue (even though it may not look it), will be reflected off of the white surface, staying white as the white surface reflects equal parts of red, green and blue.
