Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When light falls on a flat rough aluminum surface, it gets scattered in different directions due to the irregularities on the surface. This is known as diffuse reflection. In this case, the light is not reflected in a particular direction, which makes it difficult to see your image on the rough surface. Specular reflection (option C) occurs when light falls on a smooth surface, and it reflects in a particular direction like a mirror. Interference (option A), diffraction (option B), and polarization (option E) are not relevant in this context.
