Simple experiment: Turn off the lightbulb, close the curtains and check again how many of your household items are still "emitting" light.
When I provide the necessary energy with the necessary frequency they will.
No. Not by physics. Not by chemistry. Not by human eyes under varying environmental light levels.
I thought reflection works by the photon giving the atom energy, which it then releases in form of another photon, which has the same frequency due to the energy level, but not necessarily the same polarity.
I don't know about you, but I have trouble seeing other life forms in a room that is pitch black.
I don’t know what my comment had to do about being in a situation where you don’t see it
The part where you used the word "emitting".
If you cannot see it, then it is not emitting electromagnetic energy in the visible spectrum
I was pointing out that literally everything we see is the result of that object emitting energy which our eyes then sense
