Old Quantum Theory or Quantum Mechanics: a Look at the Spectrum of the Hydrogen Atom

Authors: Jorma Jormakka

The article compares the derivation of the principal energy states in the hydrogen atomas it is done in Quantum Mechanics and in old quantum theory. The method in old quantum physics makes a lot more sense. Section 3 explains why Schr"odinger's momentum substitution only worksin one dimension and there it is basically the same as Bohr's quantization rule for the angularmomentum, which is the same as de Broglie's hypothesis in the application where this hypothesisworks. The conclusion of the article is that Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory incorrectlyhave generalized Schr"odinger's one-dimensional momentum substitution to a many dimensional momentum substitution.
