It reflects with the angle of incidence (angle between the original ray of light and the normal (90 degrees to the mirror surface)) being the same as the angle of reflection (angle between the reflected ray of light and the normal). Some of the light energy is transferred into heat energy by the mirror, so the reflected beam is less bright than the original beam, but the difference is barely noticeable on a clean mirror.
An incident light ray is a light ray that travels toward a reflective surface. When this ray hits the surface, it may be reflected, refracted, or absorbed, depending on the properties of the surface and the angle at which the light ray strikes it.
Albedo is the fraction of solar energy (shortwave radiation) reflected from the Earth back into space. The albedo of an object is a measure of how strongly it reflects light from light sources such as the sun. It is therefore a more specific form of the term reflectivity.
The equation for the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection, mathematically represents how light waves or rays bounce off a surface. It describes the relationship between the angle at which light hits a reflective surface and the angle at which it reflects off the surface. This principle is fundamental in understanding how light behaves when interacting with mirrors or other reflective surfaces.
The angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. This means that the angle at which light hits a reflective surface is the same as the angle at which it bounces off the surface.
When light hits the surface of an object at an angle, it can be reflected (bounced off), refracted (bent), or absorbed by the object. The amount of light that is reflected or refracted depends on the surface properties of the object, such as smoothness and transparency.
It'll undergo reflection and will get reflected back

when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
When a beam of light strikes a reflective surface it reflects, angle of incidence = angle of reflection
im assuming that u meant "what happens when LIGHT hits a black surface?" the reason for this is that the black surface ABSORBS the light, and so none of the light waves can be reflected back (which is what makes it look black)
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.

When light hits foil, it reflects off the surface of the foil due to its smooth and shiny nature. The reflective property of the foil causes the light to bounce off in various directions, creating a glare or shine. If the foil is crumpled or wrinkled, the light will scatter in multiple directions, creating a diffuse reflection rather than a focused shine.
There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.
