The output frequency of a (i) half-wave rectifier and (ii) full-wave rectifier, if the input frequency is 50 Hz are, respectively

(i) 50 Hz; (ii) 100 Hz

The correct answer is Option (1) → (i) 50 Hz; (ii) 100 Hz

Given:

Input frequency, $f = 50\,Hz$

For a half-wave rectifier:

Output frequency = Input frequency

$f_{out(half)} = 50\,Hz$

For a full-wave rectifier:

Output frequency = 2 × Input frequency

$f_{out(full)} = 2 × 50 = 100\,Hz$

Final Answer:

(i) 50 Hz, (ii) 100 Hz
