What is the point in a standing wave that does not move as the the wave oscillates?
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.

What is a wave that oscillates upand down?
A wave that oscillates up and down is called a transverse wave. In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. An example of a transverse wave is a wave on a string.
What type of wave is oscillates?
A sine wave oscillates.
What is the difference between a standing wave and a traveling wave?
A standing wave is a wave that appears to be stationary and does not move through a medium, while a traveling wave is a wave that moves through a medium from one point to another.
What does one complete wave length depicted as a standing wave pattern look like?
A complete wavelength in a standing wave pattern consists of one node (point of no motion) and one antinode (point of maximum motion). This results in a pattern where the wave oscillates between constructive and destructive interference at these points along the medium. The amplitude of the wave is highest at the antinode and decreases to zero at the node.
What wave that oscillates parallel movements?
Longitudinal Wave - Oscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.

What is the highest point on a standing wave called?
The highest point on a standing wave is called the crest.
Does standing wave move?
No, a standing wave does not physically move along the medium. It appears to oscillate in place due to the interference of two waves traveling in opposite directions. The nodes and antinodes of the standing wave remain stationary.
What is the point of maximum amplitude on standing wave?
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What is the amplitude of the standing wave shown?
The amplitude of the standing wave shown is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position.
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave?
A point of maximum amplitude on a standing wave is called an antinode. It is a point along the wave where the displacement of the medium from its equilibrium position is at its maximum, resulting in constructive interference.
What is the amplitude of this standing wave?
The amplitude of a standing wave is the maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its equilibrium position. It represents the height of the wave at its peak.
Describe the motion of a buoy when a water wave passes. Does it move the buoy forward?
When a water wave passes, a buoy moves up and down with the wave motion, but it does not move forward with the wave. The buoy remains in the same location and oscillates in response to the passing wave, but it does not travel along with the wave.
