 As we have learnt,

Frequency = 1/(Time period)

Time period = Total distance covered/velocity

                    = 2πr/v

Thus, frequency = v/2πr

Now, velocity of electron in 3rd Bohr’s orbit = 2.16 x 106(1/3)m/s

                                                                      = 0.72 x 106m/s

And, radius of 3rd Bohr’s orbit = 0.53 x 10-10(32/1)

                                                  = 4.77 x 10-10m

Now, frequency = v/2πr

                          = 0.72 x 106m/s / (2 x 3.14 x 4.77 x 10-10m)

                          = 0.024 x 1016Hz

Therefore, Option(1) is correct
