Detailed Solution

Given  λ2=30.4×107cm
 λ1=108.5×107cm
let excited state of  He+ be  n2.  it comes from  n2. and then  n1 to 1 to emit two successive photon
1λ2=RH.z2(1121n12)

130.4×107=109678×4[1121n12]   n1 = 2

Now,  1λ1=RHz2[1221n22]

1108.5×107=109678×4[1221n22]

n2=5

Thus excited state for He is 5th orbit.
