An electron in a hydrogen atom,after absorbing energy photons,can jump between energy states $n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_2 > n_1)$. It then returns to the ground state,emitting six different wavelengths in the emission spectrum. The energy of the emitted photons can be equal to,less than,or greater than the absorbed photon energy. Determine $n_1$ and $n_2$.
