Answer #1

Answer : In a DC discharge the sheath height is constant, and so all the ions strike the electrode with the maximum sheath voltage. But in an AC plasma, the sheath is oscillating, and at low frequencies, therefore, the sheath may decrease in width to its minimum value for a significant portion of the time.
