The electron in a hydrogen atom makes a transition $n_1 \rightarrow n_2$,where $n_1$ and $n_2$ are the principal quantum numbers of the two states. Assume the Bohr model to be valid. The frequency of orbital motion of the electron in the initial state is $1/27$ of that in the final state. The possible values of $n_1$ and $n_2$ are
