Depends who you ask, but peak (or crest) and trough are good.
.I believe it is anti-nodes
The highest parts are the peaks, and the lowest points are the troughs. These could also be described as maxima and minima.
It is called the Amplitude. The crest isn't right because the crest/peaks are only the highest points in a wave. People always mix them up.
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.

The highest parts of a transverse wave are CRESTS.
It is the crest of the wave.
