I wonder if dispersion relation for photons is \omega= ck what it will be for bosons?


2. Relevant equations

Photons ARE bosons. Bosons are a general class of particle, so your question doesn't have a unique answer.

okej, I thought photons were fermions....

A nonrelativistic particle has a dispersion relation which is

\omega = \frac{\hbar k^2}{2m}.

As k\rightarrow m the dispersion relation approaches the relativistic \omega = k c.
