Solution

When all the parallel rays reflected from a plane surface are not parallel, the reflection is known as diffused or irregular reflection. Reflection from a smooth surface like that of a mirror is called regular reflection.
The diffused reflection is not due to the failure of the laws of reflection. It is caused by the irregularities in the reflecting surface.
