Hi,
Just wanted to ask, the principal quantum number represent the number of peaks of the probability wave and I think more the value of n, more the energy of the electron as the wave has more peaks so higher frequency,am I right? Then in azimuthal quantum number, the orbitals with same energy have different number of peaks, means different energy? But why? I'm referring to the point in this site:

Maybe I've misunderstood the point because I'm really a beginner, please guide.
