The point of minimum amplitude is called the trough. The trough is the lowest point on a wave where the amplitude is at its minimum. It is the opposite of the peak, which is the highest point on a wave where the amplitude is at its maximum.
The highest point of a pendulum's swing is called the amplitude. This is the point where the pendulum's potential energy is at its maximum and its kinetic energy is at its minimum.
The lowest point of a light wave is called the trough. This is where the wave reaches its minimum amplitude or lowest point of displacement from its equilibrium position.
No, a node is a point along a standing wave where the amplitude is always zero. It is a point of minimum or zero displacement in a wave, as opposed to a position of half amplitude.
The trough of a wave appears to have a negative amplitude. However, because amplitude is a distance measurement, which is a scalar quantity having only magnitude, it has no sign.

Minimum? Distance from equilibrium to minimum is the amplitude...

in a wave there are some points which vibrate with maximum amplitude these points are called antinodes.pressure at\on these points is minimum hence they are also called pressure nodes.
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.
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
The distance from the equilibrium point to the crest (or trough) of a wave is called the amplitude. It represents the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from the equilibrium position. The larger the amplitude, the more energy the wave carries.
The maximum point of a wave is called the crest, and the minimum point is called the trough.
The vertex, or maximum, or minimum.
