Hey just need a quick clarification here.

I am reading conflicting arguments. One argument states that to find the nodal surfaces of an orbital you take the result of n-1 the other argument states that the number of nodal surfaces of an orbital is equal to n.

Can someone please clear this up for me? Thanks.

It's n-1, I don't know where they're getting just n.
