$A$ bottle in the shape of a right-circular cone with height $h$ contains some water. When its base is placed on a flat surface,the height of the vertex from the water level is $a$ units. When it is kept upside down,the height of the base from the water level is $\frac{a}{4}$ units. Then the ratio $\frac{h}{a}$ is
