By calling it a "white surface", you've already described what happens. A large
fraction of the light, regardless of its wavelength, reflects from the surface, and
very little of it, regardless of its wavelength, is absorbed. If any of this were
appreciably different, then the surface would not be white.
The blue surface absorbs most colors of white light except for blue, which is reflected. This reflected blue light is what we perceive with our eyes as the color blue.
When light hits a white surface, all the wavelengths of light are reflected off the surface uniformly, resulting in the surface appearing white to our eyes. This is because white surfaces reflect all visible wavelengths of light.
Opaque colored surfaces absorb certain colors of white light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the reflected light that the surface does not absorb. So, if white light hits an opaque green surface, for example, the surface absorbs most colors except green, which we then see.
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.
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
The blue surface absorbs most colors of white light except for blue, which is reflected. This reflected blue light is what we perceive with our eyes as the color blue.

when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
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 surface will appear white.
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.
Opaque colored surfaces absorb certain colors of white light and reflect others. The color we perceive is the result of the reflected light that the surface does not absorb.

There is no scientific term for what happens when light hits an opaque object I'm afraid to say.
When white light hits an object, the object absorbs certain colors of light and reflects others. The colors that are reflected off the object are what we perceive as the color of the object.
A white surface because black absorbs the light, while white while reflect it. A good experiment is to wear a black shirt outside and a white shirt outside and see which makes you hotter in the sun
White light can both reflect and bend. When white light hits a smooth surface, it will reflect off the surface at the same angle it hit it. When white light passes through a different medium like glass, it will bend due to refraction.
