consider horizontal cylinder in which piston is performing simple harmonic motion.Is the amplitude of piston is equal to displacement amplitude of elemnts pf medium i.e air in the cylinder.

I don't understand what you mean by "displacement of the medium." The medium in the cylinder is not moving, just expanding and contracting.
