I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.

What is the formula for sound pressure?
Sound Pressure = sound intensity ÷ particle velocity. Sound Pressure = √(sound intensity × acoustic impedance).
Is sound pressure level amplitude?
Sound pressure or acoustic pressure is a scalar quantity used to indicate the amplitude level of sound at a specific location in space. It is the deviation from the ambient atmospheric pressure and is caused by a sound wave.
Can you calculate sound power from sound pressure?
Sound power at the source cannot be measured; it can be calculated by making a dB pressure measurement at any distance, then using the formula: dB (power) = dB (pressure reading) + 20 × logarithm of distance in feet + 0.5 dB. At 3 feet: dB (power) = dB (pressure) + (20 × 0.477) + 0.5 dB.
