When light bounces off an uneven surface the results?
Diffuse reflection
What is the term for reflection of a light wave from and uneven surface?
A wave reflecting from an irregular surface experiences what is called as Diffuse or irregular Reflection. If light is reflected from a smooth surface (think of a mirror) then it is called specular reflection. With diffuse reflection, light goes off from the surface in a range of directions which does not create a reflected image. In diffuse reflection, one sees basically a chaotic sampling of light reflected from the object emitting the light and so normally one can detect little about shape and only get information about the colors of the light source.
What happens when light reflects off of a rough surface?
a smooth surface would let all the light through in one direction/angle, but a rough surface would make the different rays of light come out at different angles;making the different coulors more easily visible.
What uneven forces acting on the particles of a liquid's surface?
Surface Tension
Which term describes the uneven way that glass breaks?
breaks
Can you see your reflection on an uneven surface?
Depends on what you are reflecting ON... If it's not a clear or mirror like surface... then no, if it is, you can still see your reflection on an uneven surface... Why don't you actually EXPERIMENT and try to see it for yourself?

Why can't you see your reflection in a brick wall?
=The reason you can't see into a brick wall because light rays are reflected in many directions from the uneven surface.=

Is jagged a noun?
No, "jagged" is an adjective. It describes something that has a rough or uneven edge or surface.

Does paper reflect light?
Yes, but since its surface is uneven (at atomic level), light is not reflected as in the case of a mirror. Anything that we can see (except black) reflects light. The white paper, for instance, reflects all the colours of white light and this is why it appears white to our eye.
Light rays obey the law of reflection what is the law of reflection?
