Jose,
I don't know if there is actually a name for the two constants: 0.707 and
1.414.
These two constants are used to convert between RMS, Peak and Peak-to Peak
voltages of a pure sine wave.
The 120 volt power available in your home is a pure sine wave. You must
realize that these constants only apply to a pure sine wave signal.
If the signal is any other shape than a sine wave, or contains harmonics
than these values will not give accurate results.
Do you need me to discuss where each value is used? If so, I will try.
Hope this helps.
