= Nodes of a wavefunction
{synonym}

A position or set of positions where a <wavefunction> vanishes. Its <Born rule> position <probability density> is also zero there. For a one-dimensional bound state, counting interior nodes distinguishes successive <energy eigenfunctions>; hard-wall endpoint zeros are usually counted separately.
