same way normal light does. it's just normal light bouncing off a reflective surface and onto another surface

Can you see the reflective material without light and why?
well no as it bounces
Can you see through a opaque object?
No, that is what opaque means. Light does not go through an opaque object. An object that is translucent will allow light through, but is opaque enough to keep you from seeing clearly through it (think about frosted glass used for bathroom windows). Transparent is "see through".
Do you see an object when light from your eyes hit that object?
No you see the object because the light refelects from the object into your eyes
Why light reflects?
Light is an energy force which has weight. Light particles rebound back to the eye because every object has a reflective surface. Perhaps we could ask the question "Why do we see things in different colors?" Light is white in color. This white light is in actual fact a combination of all the colors of the spectrum. When light strikes an object the object will absorb some of the colors but reject others. The combination of these rejected colors give us the color we see. A green cover book is so because the colors blue and yellow were not absorbed by the material of the book cover. Some say that because some objects absorb all colors the object is seen as black, or the absence of color. So why do we still see black objects? Because even a black object has a reflective surface.
Is a book an translucent object?
A book isn't translucent, it's opaque.A transparent object allows most of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through clearly through it.A translucent object allows some of the light to pass through it allowing us to see through it to a limited extent.An opaque object allows no light to pass through it and does not allow us to see through it at all.
Can you see reflective materials without light why?
no when a light hits an object the light will bounce back
What objects reflect and absorb light?
Any object you can see reflects light. If it did not reflect any light it would be invisible. Similarly, no object is so reflective that it reflects all light. The proof that it absorbs light is that it increses in temperature as it is exposed to light.

How does mirrors reflects light?
The light shine on any object is either reflected or absorbed into the object. Modern mirror use highly reflective material coated behind the flat glass surface thus the light would bounce off at exact opposite angle and we could see the reflection.

How do you see the book on your tablecan you see the book in absolute darkness?
-- You "see" only when light enters your eye. -- You 'see' an object only when light from that object enters your eye. -- If the object itself doesn't generate light, then light from some other source must illuminate the object, and some of that light must reflect from the object to your eye. -- In absolute darkness, there is no light, and you do not 'see'.
Do all materials allow light to pass through?
No. May I suggest that you experiment next time and shine a light at a wall and see if there is light on the other side? Or perhaps even shine light at an opaque object and see if light goes through that
