Hint: The highest instantaneous value of a function is estimated from the zero-volt level. The peak value of amplitude and peak value are equal since the average value of the function is zero volts. The term "RMS" is "Root-Mean-Squared," also named for the practical value of alternating current, similar to a DC voltage that would give the same amount of heat production in a resistor as the AC voltage would if implemented to that equivalent resistor.

Complete step by step solution:
Given: The instantaneous value of an alternating voltage:
Et=140 sin300t
We will compare this equation with the general equation:
Et=Eo sin300t
Where, Eo is the peak value of voltage.
Et is the value of voltage at any time t.
w is the angular frequency.
After comparing, we get,
Eo=140V
w=300
a) Peak value of voltage, Eo=140V
b) Rms value of voltage,
Erms=Eo2
Put the value of Eo=140V.
Erms=1402=1401.4
Erms=100V
c) Angular frequency, w=300
Now, we will find frequency by the formula:
f=w2π
Put w=300
f=3002×3
We get,
f=50Hz

Note: RMS is not the "Average" voltage, and its numerical relationship to peak voltage varies on the type of waveform. The RMS value is squared of the root of the mean value of the squared function of the instant values. Rms value is the amount of AC power that provides the same heating effect as an equal DC power.
