For a photon the energy is given by
$$E = h\nu$$
Does this includes both kinetic energy and energy due to mass?
If so then de Broglie gave the equation λ = h/p by equating hν with mc2 but since E = mc2 just gives the energy due to relativistic mass at that speed it would not include kinetic energy of photon and thus deBroglie equation may be wrong.
