Question was already answered and there is a new question up but yes that is correct

If the above answer is acceptable, what does it mean for breakdown to occur in a pn junction?

Looks good! Zener and Avalanche breakdown might also be good things to look up just in case.

All right, great!

What is the RMS voltage of a sinusoidal wave alternating between 40 and -40 V? Why is this useful? How does this change if you consider a square wave which is 40 V half of the time and -40 V the other half?

You know, we don't need to know AC.

That's not true.
