In a hydrogen-like atom with atomic number $Z$,an electron is in an excited state with principal quantum number $2n$. The maximum energy of a photon that can be emitted from this state is $204 \ eV$. If the electron transitions from the $2n$ orbit to the $n$ orbit,a photon with energy $40.8 \ eV$ is emitted. The value of $n$ is:

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$
