In half wave rectification, if the input frequency is 60 Hz, then the output frequency would be :

Solution

A half wave rectifier passes only the positive (or only the negative) half of each input cycle and blocks the other half.

One output pulse appears for every full input cycle, so the output repeats at the same rate as the input.

$f_{o u t} = f_{in} = 60$ Hz.
