Would you look at your post and proof it please. That 10^20? Is that right?

The energy of the H atom in its ground state is -2.18E-18. Find the difference in the energy, change the negative sign to a positive sign then E = hf and solve for f = frequency. Is that something like 10^15 Hz? You should confirm that.
