1. When the light rays hit a smooth surface, the rays are parallel to each other. Diffuse reflection occurs when a rough surface causes reflected rays to travel in different directions. Most everyday objects exhibit diffuse reflection because of the tiny imperfections on the surface of the material.
2.The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.

1) because the surface is rough i.e the surface reflects the light Ray's in different directions and that is why diffused reflection takes place.
2)The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. ... Virtual objects produce real images, however. The focal length of a plane mirror is infinity; its optical power is zero.
