Solution:

The circuit using two diodes gives output rectified voltage corresponding to both the positive as well as negative half of the AC cycle.
Hence, it is known as full-wave rectifier. There is another circuit of full-wave rectifier which does not need a centre tap transformer but needs four diodes. It is called a bridge rectifier.
