Consider the following schematic plots of orbital wavefunction $\psi(r)$ against distance (r) from the nucleus.
The figure representing two radial nodes in the orbital is
The figure representing two radial nodes in the orbital isDetailed Solution
The number of radial nodes equals the number of times the wavefunction curve crosses the r-axis (excluding r = 0 and infinity). In figure C the curve cuts the axis twice, so it represents two radial nodes.
