History questions are welcome on this site whenever they have any bearing on our modern understanding of physics. However, if a question has only minimal or null bearing on our current understanding, or it specifically requires a historian's skills, toolset, and mindset to answer, then it should be migrated to the History of Science and Maths site. See the FAQ on Meta for more information.

Why did the Bohr Model Successfully calculate some of the energy levels in hydrogen?
I want to highlight Fredric Thomas comment above about the correspondence principle.
We can write a solution to the Schrödinger equation like,
$$
\Psi = (A(t,x) + \hbar B(t,x) + ...)\exp(i S(t,x)/\hb …

Why did the Bohr Model Successfully calculate some of the energy levels in hydrogen?
Take QED, consider the spherical symmetric solutions for hydrogen, Add a condition that the mass,charge is zero for $r<r_0$. and at $r_0$, all mass,charge. Let the Photon be a standing wave. Assume pr …

Why did the Bohr Model Successfully calculate some of the energy levels in hydrogen?
The Bohr model is incomplete and has drawbacks. But one thing is a mystery to me. Why did it so successfully calculate the Rydberg series with quite good number of correct digits?
Having such a good …
