Thats not completly true, The photon is produced when an electron goes from an excited state to a lower state or ground state. since each atom has it's own specific levels of energy states each atom produces specific colors of light on the spectrum. So I am pretty sure we should call that one false.

Its false Reflected light does not have any spectrum. Its only emitted light that has a spectrum.
