An atom doesn't have a frequency. It can vibrate with many different frequencies. It can absorb radiation of different frequencies under different circumstances. For instance, electrons moving between various energy levels absorb and release characteristic frequencies of visible and ultra-violet light, and in a magnetic field radio frequency energy can be absorbed as the nucleus moves from one spin state to another. Bonds between hydrogen and other atoms absorb energies in the infra red. All these things give spectra of various frequencies, not an individual frequency.

What is hydrogen shine?

The hydrogen line or "shine" is the frequency (1420.40575177 MHz) or wavelength (21.10611405413 cm) of electromagnetic energy emitted by an excited hydrogen atom. This is not a "shine" in the sense of visible - it is in the microwave frequency range. It is useful in radio astronomy because it passes through dust clouds that block visible light.
