Answer:

1 : 10000

Explanation:

Energy of a photon of x-rays of wavelength = 0.05 nm

Energy of a photon of visible light of wavelength = 500 nm

The ratio is given as;

0.05 : 500

1 : 10000

Therefore, ratio of the energy of a photon of x-rays of wavelength to that of a photon of visible light of wavelength is 1 : 10000
