Bending of light occurs when light passes from one medium to another with a different density. The two media have different refractive indices so the light will bend. Light may also bend due to immense gravity ie towards a black hole.
Irregular reflection does not bend the light but scatters it as the light is reflected off the many different angles of an uneven surface.
Diffusion is governed by a parabolic differential equation while bending of light is described by the wave equation, including effects of variable physical properties.

What image is formed in diffused reflection?
In diffused reflection, light is reflected in random directions by a rough or irregular surface. This results in the formation of a blurred or fuzzy image as the reflected light rays are scattered.
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
When a beam of light strikes a rough surface it reflects at?
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
What are the similarities between regular reflection and diffused reflection?
Regular reflection and diffused reflection both involve the bouncing of light off a surface. In regular reflection, light rays reflect off a smooth surface at the same angle they hit the surface. In diffused reflection, light rays reflect off a rough surface in many different directions, creating a scattered pattern of light.
Does diffused reflection mean failure of the laws of reflection?
No, diffused reflection does not mean a failure of the laws of reflection. Diffused reflection occurs when light rays are scattered in different directions upon hitting a rough surface, but the angles of incidence and reflection still obey the law of reflection.
What do you call the reflection of light from a rough surface?
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.
What image is formed in diffused reflection?
In diffused reflection, light is reflected in random directions by a rough or irregular surface. This results in the formation of a blurred or fuzzy image as the reflected light rays are scattered.
What is diffusing reflection?
When the rays of light do not follow the laws of reflection, then this type of reflection is called diffused reflection.
What will happen if the light hits a plane surface and a rough surface?
If the light hits a plane surface, regular reflection will take place and if light hits a rough surface, diffused (irregular) reflection will take place. Here is a diagram for both. Diffused (irregular) Regular
When a beam of light strikes a rough surface it reflects at?
It reflects randomly, termed by physics "irregular reflection" or "diffused reflection."
Is the first law of reflection valid for diffused reflection?
no It is definitely obeying both the basic laws of reflection. Only that on irregular reflection, all incident rays are at different angles which results in scattered reflected rays of light.
When moon reflects the light falling on it from the sun is the reflection regular or diffused?
You mean the reflection is so equivalent to mirror reflection. No chance. It is only diffused
What are the similarities between regular reflection and diffused reflection?

In diffused reflection, light rays reflect off a rough surface in many different directions, creating a scattered pattern of light.
Does diffused reflection mean failure of the laws of reflection?
No, diffused reflection does not mean a failure of the laws of reflection. Diffused reflection occurs when light rays are scattered in different directions upon hitting a rough surface, but the angles of incidence and reflection still obey the law of reflection.
What is the reflection of light from a rough surface called?
The reflection of light from a rough surface is called diffuse reflection. Unlike smooth surfaces that exhibit specular reflection (reflecting light uniformly in one direction), rough surfaces scatter light in various directions, causing the reflection to be diffused.
Does diffused reflection mean the faliure of the laws of reflection?
No, it means that certain conditions are not fulfilled, so the law simply doesn't apply. Alternately, you can consider diffuse reflection as lots of small pieces of surface, each of which reflects the incoming light ray in a different reflection.
What kind of reflection is the reflection of light from a rough surface?
scattered or diffused, the opposite of collocated and focused
