Why cannot a mirror whose surface is rough produce a clear image?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The light that gets reflected at a rough and uneven surface goes in different direction, due to irregular reflection. This is the reason why a mirror whose surface is rough cannot produce clear image. Any surface that is smooth can produce a clear image because of regular reflection that takes place at its surfaces.
