Both the nucleus and the atom of some element are in their respective first excited states. They get de-excited by emitting photons of wavelengths $\lambda_N$ and $\lambda_A$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_N}{\lambda_A}$ is closest to

  • A
    $10^{-6}$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $10^{-1}$
  • D
    $10^{-10}$
