They are the locations where the amplitudes of the two waves combine destructively. The positive displacement of one wave is exactly matched by the negative displacement of the other so that the overall displacement is zero.

Distance between identical points on a wave?
The distance between identical points on a wave is called wavelength.
What is distance between two consecutive corresponding points in the wave?
The distance between these two points is termed as a wavelength.
The distance between corresponding points on wave's cycle is called its?
Wavelength
What Describes lines that meet at right angle as in a transverse wave?
Perpendicular! Yay!
The distance between two identical points on a wave measured in meters?
Two points 360 degrees apart. That would be wavelength.
Which type of wave has points called nodes that do not move?
Stationary waves.
How is a progressive wave different from a standing wave?
1. Each point along a progressive wave has equal amplitude, but for a stationary wave the amplitude varies. 2. Adjacent points on progressive waves vibrate with different phase but all particles between nodes in stationary waves vibrate in phase 3. Energy is transferred through space in progressive waves but not in the case of stationary waves
What is the number of cycles of a wave that passes a stationary point in one second is called its?
Wave Frequency.
What is wave period?
the time it takes for any two crest to troughs to pass a stationary point.
Can a reflected wave cancel out an incident one?
No, but it can result in standing waves where some points are stationary.
What are the differences between a progressive wave and a stationary wave?
Progressive Wave: 1) The wave profile is seen to move indicating that energy is being transported in the process. 2) If undamped, all points will oscillated with the same amplitude. 3) Points within a wavelength are out of phase. Two successive points that are in phase are exactly one wavelength apart. Stationary Wave : 1) The wave profile is stationary showing that there is no net transfer of energy from one end to another. 2) Points vibrate with different amplitudes ranging from zero (nodes) to a maximum (anti nodes) amplitude. 3) Points within one loop (half a wavelength) are in phase. However, they are in anti-phase with the vibrations of the points in the adjacent loop.
What is the wave period?
the time it takes for any two crest to troughs to pass a stationary point.
Is stationary wave is wave?
A standing wave is also known as a stationary wave. It is a wave that remains in a constant position. This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions.
What is a wave that forms a stationary pattern in which portions of the wave do not move and other portions move with large amplitude?
Stationary wave
The points on a standing wave where no motion occurs are?
The breaking point.
What is the point of maximum amplitude on standing wave?
Antinodes are the points of maximum amplitude on a standing wave.
What are the lowest points on transverse wave called?
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
