**Question 6**Lawrence of Arabia begins to sing while traveling through the desert by camel. As the result of a distant mesa reflecting sound, he hears the echo of his voice 4.0 seconds later. How far away is the mesa? (Assume that the speed of sound in air in the desert where he is located is 355 m/s.)- a. 900 m- b. 355 m- c. 500 m- d. 710 m- e. 400 m
