Answer:

(T)/(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the billow figure the wave required T time to complete the length
$\lambda$

Now from the figure it is clear that the length between the maximum crest and minimum crest is
$(\lambda )/(4)$

As the distance is decreases by 4 times so the time will alos decreases by 4 times

So the required time for a wave to reach from maximum crest to minimum crest is
(T)/(4)
