nodes are typically considered where the solution is stationary at 0. For radial nodes, f(R)=0 for all angles. They look circular in the picture above. For angular nodes f(someAngle)=0 for all R. They look like the slices.

 

 

number of radial nodes = (n-l-1)

number of angular nodes = l

total nodes = n
