According to de broglie

wavelegth = h/mv where h=plancks constant , m = rest mass of body , v =velocity of body

but for a photon rest mass = 0 therefore it should have wavelength equal to infinity but it is not true light waves have certain wavelength . Can anyone explain me why it is like that ?
