de Broglie wavelength is given by
h/p where p is the momentum of the particle.
For example if you use relativistic energy formula for energy of particle with zero rest mass
E=pc where c=speed of light
h=planck's constant.
And wavelength comes out to be hc/E
If it is a photon then E=hf
where f=frequency
Therefore wavelength hc/hf=c/f=lambda = wavelength
Which is the usual wavelength.
De Broglie argued this is true for all particles irrespective of fact whether they have rest mass or not and should be given by h/p

Compton wavelength is given by h/mc
