An electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom has an orbital radius of $5.3 \times 10^{-11} \ m$,while that for the electron in the third excited state is $8.48 \times 10^{-10} \ m$. The ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of the electron in the ground state to that in the third excited state is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $1/4$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $16$
