Chapter 11, Problem 11.39E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the given statement that $\text{2-D}$ rotational motion wavefunctions have no nodes is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The wavefunction for $\text{2-D}$ rotational motion is given below.

${\Psi }_m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}{e}^{im\varphi }$

Where, ${\Psi }_m$ represents the wavefunction dependent on quantum number $m$. The values of $m$ start from $0$. Also, it can take up both negative and positive integral values.
