A hydrogen like atom (atomic number z) is in a higher excited state of quantum number 'n. The excited atom can make a transition to the first excited state by successively emitting two photons of energy 15.48 eV and 30.22 eV respectively. Alternately, the atom from same excited state can make transition to second excited state by successively emitting two photons of energy 4.9 eV and 10.58 eV. (Take ionization energy of H-atom = 13.6 eV)
