What is the ratio of the total energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom in the first excited state to that in the third excited state?

$A$ 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 = $-13.6 \ eV$.]
