Want this question answered?
A Standing Wave is a wave with nodes that do not move.
Stationary waves.
.I believe it is anti-nodes
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.
A point in a standing wave which does not move is called a "node." These points are unaffected by the presence of the wave around them. For an interesting demonstration, see the video I linked below. This video shows grains of sand on a plate which is being vibrated. The grains of sand pile up at the nodes where the plate is not vibrating.

The points of minimal displacement are called "nodes." The points of maximal displacement are called "antinodes."

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.
Standing waves (sometimes called stationary waves) are the result of interference between two progressive wave systems. They can occur in anything from flowing water to optical systems to transmission lines. Points of negative interference are called nodes and points of the wave crests and troughs central between nodes are called antinodes. At certain frequencies (resonances), the nodes will become stationary, and the wave appears not to move. What they do is a broader question, but one (of very many examples) would be the sound created by a stinged musical instrument, which depends on standing waves to produce its sound.
Anti nodes are the points where standing wave have maximum amplitude.
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.
