Dispersion Relation: Photons vs Bosons

Homework Statement

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

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 $$\omega = k c$$.
