Q. If a full wave rectifier circuit is operating from $50 \,Hz$ mains, the fundamental frequency in the ripple will be (in $Hz$ )?

Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

If mains frequency is $50\, Hz$ after full wave rectification the frequency becomes double that of mains. So answer is $100\, Hz$.
