Pressure amplitude has units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2. Note that Δp is half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave.

What is pressure amplitude measured in?
Pressure amplitude is a measure of the size of the variation in air pressure caused by a sound wave. In pure silence there is a constant pressure--atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is measured in newtons/meter2 and is approximately 105 N/m2.
Is amplitude measured in Pascals?
The amplitude of sound pressure is frequently measured in pascals (Pa). One thousand pascals is a kilopascal (kPa).
What is amplitude measured in dB?
Amplitude, reported on the decibel (dB) scale, measures sound's pressure or forcefulness. The more amplitude a sound has, the louder it is. In daily life, we often think of this as volume.
How do you find the amplitude of a pressure wave?
Pressure wave is shifted relative to displacement in phase by ½&pi. Peak of displacement is at zeroes of pressure change, maximum/minimum pressure is at zero desplacement. Pressure wave amplitude is Δ pmax = A B k .
