If the energy of the electron in a hydrogen atom in some excited state is $-3.4 \ eV,$ then what will be its angular momentum?

Based on the equation $\Delta E = - 2.0 \times 10^{-18} \, J \left( \frac{1}{n_2^2} - \frac{1}{n_1^2} \right)$,the wavelength of the light that must be absorbed to excite a hydrogen electron from level $n = 1$ to level $n = 2$ will be: $(h = 6.625 \times 10^{-34} \, J \, s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m \, s^{-1})$

The frequency of a certain line of the Lyman series of the atomic spectrum of the $H$ atom satisfies the following conditions:
$(i)$ It is the sum of the frequency of another Lyman line and a Balmer line.
$(ii)$ It is the sum of the frequency of a certain line,a Lyman line,and a Paschen line.
$(iii)$ It is the sum of the frequency of a Lyman and a Paschen line but no Brackett line.
To what transition does this frequency correspond?
