Question
In half-wave rectification, what is the output frequency if the input frequency is 50 Hz. What is the output frequency of a full-wave rectifier for the same input frequency?

Answer

Half wave rectifier convert only half input a.c. into direct.
Since, Frequency of output a.c. = Frequency of input a.c.
= 50 Hz
Full wave rectification, a.c. rectifies into direct both the halves of the input.
Therefore, Frequency of output a.c.
$=2 \times$ Frequency of input a.c.
$=2 \times 50=100 Hz$
