A loudspeaker is placed 2 m2\,\text{m} in front of a long, vertical wall. A microphone is positioned 4 m4\,\text{m} to the right of the loudspeaker and also 2 m2\,\text{m} in front of the wall. What is the approximate extra distance travelled by the sound that reaches the microphone after reflecting once from the wall compared with the direct sound? (a) 5.7 m5.7\,\text{m} (b) 1.7 m1.7\,\text{m} (c) 0.0 m0.0\,\text{m} (d) 2.0 m2.0\,\text{m}
