When the trough of a wave and the crest of a different wave meet, the waves cancel completely. This is called destructive interference.

The highest part of a transverse wave are called?
crest
What is the time it takes a point on a wave to move from its lowest point to its highest point back to its highest point again?
the answer is depending on how fast the wave is going I believe the answer would be something like cycles (or Hertz).
What is the space between waves called?
Those are called wavelengths. It is measured from the crest, i.e. the tip or point, of one wave to the one next to it. =============================== Answer #2:There is no spacing between waves. As soon as one wave is finished, the next one begins immediately, without any delay in time or space. But the distance between corresponding points on two consecutive waves is called the "wavelength".
What is a body wave that can penetrate the earths core?
It's called the P- Wave
What is a body wave that doesn't penetrate the earth's core?
It's called a P-wave
What are the highest and lowest points on a standing wave called?
.I believe it is anti-nodes
What are the highest points on standing wave?
Wake
What is the highest point on a standing wave called?
Its called Antinodes
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave is called what?
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What type of wave has points called nodes that do not move?
A Standing Wave is a wave with nodes that do not move.
What are the highest and lowest points of a a standing wave called?
I believe they're called anti-nodes. The points of the wave where the amplitude changes the most. Since they reverse, I don't think there's a different name for the high spot or low spot.

What are the relatively still points on a standing wave called?
The points of minimal displacement are called "nodes." The points of maximal displacement are called "antinodes."
What are the highest and lowest points in a transverse wave called?
Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave?
That point is called a 'node'. The point(s) of maximum amplitude, on the other hand, are called quite logically 'antinodes'. The wave is called a "standing" wave, not because it stands still; it does move vertically, but not horizontally. As a sidelight, a book from the golden age of science fiction (when such fiction was still related to science) by J.G. Ballard called Chronopolis postulated a space-time continuum structured as a standing wave surface, whereupon stable time is possible at the nodes.
What is the point of maximum amplitude on standing wave?
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
The highest points a wave?
crest
