I am studying quantum physics and there is something I don't understand:
I know that for any particle $E=hf$ (Einstein relation) and
$v=\lambda f$ ($v$ is the speed of the particle).
I also know that the kinetic energy is $E_k=\frac{mv^2}{2}$.
Solving those 3 equations for $\lambda$: $$h\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{mv^2}{2},$$ I finally find $$\lambda=\frac{2h}{mv}=\frac{2h}{p},$$ which is not consistent with the De Broglie relation $$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}.$$ Where am I wrong in my development?
