$A$ sample of hydrogen atoms is in an excited state (all the atoms). The photons emitted from this sample are made to pass through a filter through which light having a wavelength greater than $800 \ nm$ can only pass. Only one type of photon is found to pass through the filter. The sample's initial excited state is: [Take $hc = 1240 \ eV \cdot nm$,ground state energy of hydrogen atom = $-13.6 \ eV$.]

An electron in the $n = 1$ orbit of a hydrogen atom is bound by $13.6 \, eV$. If a hydrogen atom is in the $n = 3$ state,how much energy is required to ionize it?
