Abstract
The electron wave function is determined for the case in which only the orbital moment of the electron is quantized. It is shown that the radiation quantum corrections calculated on the basis of the resulting wave functions coincide, through squared terms in ħ, with the corresponding corrections obtained from the exact wave functions for an electron in a homogeneous magnetic field.
