A hydrogen-like atom (atomic number ) is in a higher excited state of quantum number . This excited atom can make a transition to the first excited state by successively emitting two photons of energies and respectively. Alternatively, the atom from the same excited state can make a transition to the second excited state by successively emitting two photons of energy and respectively. Determine the value of . [Ionization energy of hydrogen atom
