Out of the following options which one can be used to produce a propagating electromagnetic wave?
MEDIUM
Assume that the displacement s of air is proportional to the pressure difference Δp created by a sound wave. Displacement (s) further depends on the speed of sound (v), density of airρ and the frequency (f). If Δp=10 Pa, n=300 m s-1, p=1 kg m-3 and  f=1000 Hz, then s will be of the order of (take the multiplicative constant to be 1)
