hey buddy,
here is your answer..
1st limitation : charged electrons moving in an orbit around the nucleus SHOULD radiate energy due to the acceleration of the electron in its orbit. The frequency of the emitted radiation should gradually change as the electron lost energy and spiraled into into the nucleus. Obviously this was not happening, because the spectral lines of a given element were sharply defined and unchanging.
2nd limitation: the spectral lines did not show overtones (or harmonics). These are lines where the frequency is double, triple and so on of the fundamental frequency. The lines of the spectrum of each element were scattered about with no apparent pattern, other than the purely empirical formula of Balmer (which dates to 1885). However, no one knew what Balmer's formula meant.
hope it helps you..
