Abstract
Wentzel’s elegant method for deriving the quantal generalization of the Sommerfeld quantization condition, which has been criticized by other authors, is justified and put on an irrefutable basis. Clarifying comments on some questions related to the discussion in the present paper are also made.Keywords
