The term used to describe objects that are visible because of reflected light is "luminous." However, if you're referring specifically to objects that do not emit their own light but are visible due to reflecting light from another source, the term "illuminated" is more appropriate. These objects can be seen only when light from a source, like the sun or a lamp, bounces off them.
