    Assume that the displacement$(s)$ of air is proportional to the pressure difference $(\Delta p)$ created by a sound wave. Displacement$(s)$ further depends on the speed of sound $(v),$ density of air $(\rho)$ and the frequency $(f)$ If $\Delta p \approx 10\, Pa , v  \approx 300\, m / s , p  \approx 1\, kg / m ^{3}$ and $f \approx  1000 \,Hz$, then $s$ will be the order of
