An excited $He^+$ ion emits two photons in succession, with wavelengths $108.5 \, nm$ and $30.4 \, nm$, in making a transition to the ground state. The quantum number $n$, corresponding to its initial excited state is $n = ........$ (for a photon of wavelength $\lambda$, energy $E = \frac{1240 \, eV}{\lambda \, (in \, nm)}$).
