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.

The distance between identical points on a wave is called wavelength.
Lines that meet at a right angle, as in a transverse wave, are perpendicular to each other. In a transverse wave, the oscillations of the wave occur perpendicular to the direction of energy propagation. This characteristic of transverse waves allows for the wave to exhibit properties such as polarization, where the oscillations are confined to a single plane.
The distance between these two points is termed as a wavelength.
Wavelength
Two points 360 degrees apart. That would be wavelength.
