Detailed Solution

The energy required to excite the electron from n1to n2 orbit revolving around the nucleus with charge +Ze is give by 

   En2-En1=me48ε02h21n12-1n22Z2or,En2-En1=Z2×13.61n12-1n22

Since 47.2 eV energy is required to excite the electro form  n1=2ton2=3 orbit, we have 47.2=Z2×13.6122-132

Z2=47.2×13.613.6×5=24.988=25Z=5

The energy required to remove the electron from the first Bohr orbit to infinity  is given by E-E1=13.6×Z2112-12=13.6×25eV=340eV

In order to calculate the wavelength of radiation, we use Bohr's frequency relation 

hf=hcλ=13.6×25×1.6×10-19Jorλ=6.6×10-34×3×10813.6×25×1.6×10-19=34.4Å
