Homework Statement


I have a quick question,
Does radial probability function of finding electron (4πr2R2) show only radial nodes, or does it show angular nodes too.
(I am like 90% sure that it shows radial nodes only)

What do you mean by angular nodes? The radial distribution has no angular dependence by definition.
