Reflection of light
Light always reflects when it comes in contact with the things. The only reason we can see the things around us is that light, either from the Sun or from something like an electric lamp here on Earth, reflects off them into our eyes. Cut off the source of the light or stop it from reaching your eyes and those objects disappear. They don't cease to exist, but you can no longer see them.
Reflection of light from smooth surfaces is called regular reflection. Plane mirror and polished metal surfaces produce a regular reflection.
Reflection of light from a rough surface is called irregular or diffuse reflection. Surfaces of wall, table, cardboard, etc produces a diffuse reflection.
