What will happen if air enters the inside of a suction cup?
The suction cup will lose its attachment, unless it has an additional adhesive. Suction cups attached to a surface are held there by the pressure of the outside air, which is higher than the pressure under the cup. The suction cup is trying to return to its uncompressed condition, and pulls away from the surface, reducing the pressure under it.
Why are suction cups more effective on smooth surfaces than on rough surfaces?
Because rough surfaces prevent the edges of the suction cup from creating a seal, which a suction cup needs to function.
