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 ?
Solution:  
In half wave rectification, only one ripple is obtained per cycle in the output.

Output frequency of a half wave rectifier = input frequency = 50 Hz
In full wave rectification, two ripples are obtained per cycle in the output.
Output frequency = 2 × input frequency = 2 × 50 = 100 Hz
