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.

Why can't we see objects in a darkened room?
In order to see, the eye must receive light; and darkness is the absence of light.

Since darkness is the absence of light, there is no light in the darkness to be reflected from chairs, tables, or people to our eyes, and therefore we can not see these objects.
