Under the de Broglie relations it says specifically that they relate frequency to the kinetic energy only, not to the total energy, but under the special relativity section it calculates the frequency such that it would give the total energy. Is there an error or am I missing something?

image of the propagation of a plane wave

For a plane wave the amplitude in each x, at each time t, should be equal to |A|^2 and not oscillate, as the image suggests using the opacity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.22.169.35 (talk) 09:53, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The kinetic energy or the total energy?

Under the de Broglie relations it says specifically that they relate frequency to the kinetic energy only, not to the total energy, but under the special relativity section it calculates the frequency such that it would give the total energy.
