quantum mechanics - Is it possible to recover the old Bohr-Sommerfeld model from the QM description of the atom by turning off some parameters?


Is it possible to recover the old Bohr-Sommerfeld model from the QM description of the atom by turning off some parameters?


Can we use Ehrenfest's theorem (or some other scheme) to reduce the QM model to the Bohr-Sommerfeld model? If not, why not? The issue seems to be significant because it might shed some deep conceptual issues.

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
