The volumetric probability density function for the 1s orbital of the hydrogen atom has 1 peak, and it occurs at the Bohr radius.

For the 2s orbital, it has 2 peaks, neither of which coincides with an integer multiple of the Bohr radius.
Is there any additional physical significance for the distance at which these 2 peaks occur?
