Firstly,
we have to understand the topic of Type of reflection.
There are mainly two types of reflection
1) Regular reflection : The type of reflection in which the reflected ray are reflected in the same direction. For example a plane mirror
2) Irregular or diffused reflection : The type of reflection in which the rays scatter after reflection. For example : A rough surface.
Coming to the answer ::
The image formed on a metal surface is hazy as compared to the image formed on a mirror because regular reflection does not take place.
When we observe a metal in microscopic point of view,we will observe some irregularities on the surface which result in irregular reflection.
As a result, the light rays are scattered and the image appears hazy.
