Dear student 
Diffuse reflection occurs on rough surfaces. In diffuse reflection, all of the reflected rays still behave in accordance with the law of reflection, but the roughness of the surface results in variation in the normals along the surface. With this variation, normals at neighboring points are no longer parallel to each other. Since the angle of incidence depends on the normal line at the exact point a ray hits, the incident angles for a set of parallel rays will not be the same and each reflected ray will have a different angle of reflection. In other words, the rays scatter.
