Explain the formulas for the energy of an electron in an atom revolving around the nucleus in different orbits.

The following diagram indicates the energy levels of a certain atom. When the system moves from the $4E$ level to the $E$ level,a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is emitted. The wavelength of the photon produced during its transition from the $\frac{7}{3}E$ level to the $E$ level is ${\lambda _2}$. The ratio $\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}$ will be:

Energy of an electron in the second orbit of a hydrogen atom is $E_{2}$. The energy of an electron in the third orbit of $He^{+}$ will be
