$\text{f}=50\text{Hz}$
$=\text{I}=\text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}$
Peak value $\text{I}=\frac{\text{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\frac{\text{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}}=\text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sin\omega\text{t}=\sin\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\pi}{4}=\omega\text{t}$
Or $\text{t}=\frac{\pi}{400}$
$=\frac{\pi}{4\times2\pi\text{f}}=\frac{1}{8\text{f}}$
$=\frac{1}{8\times50}=0.0025\text{s}=2.5\text{ms}$

    Figure shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input $V_{i }= 10mV$ is applied at the left end and the output $V_0$ is received at the right end. Find the output voltage for ν = 10kHz, 1.0MHz and 10.0MHz. Note that as the frequency is increased the output decreases and, hence, the name low-pass filter.
