The correct answer is: 3.2×1015 Hz
The frequency v of the emitted electromagnetic radiation, when a hydrogen atom de - excites from the level n2 to n1 is

υ=RCZ21n12-1n22

When the transition takes place from n2=2 to n1=1

then

2.7×1015=RCZ2112-122.....(i)

When the transition takes place from n2=3 to n1=1

then let the frequency be υ.

υ=RCZ2 112-132.....(i)

From equation (i) and (ii), we get

υ=32×2.7×101527=3.2×1015 Hz
