In half-wave rectification of a single-phase supply, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed, while the other half is blocked. Because only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, mean voltage is lower. Half-wave rectification requires a single diode in a single-phase supply, or three in a three-phase supply.

A valley-fill circuit is a type of passive power-factor correction (PFC) circuit. For purposes of illustration, a basic full-wave diode-bridge rectifier is shown in the first stage, which converts the AC input voltage to a DC voltage.
Evidently, the effect of the half-wave plate is to mirror the wave's polarization vector through the plane formed by the vectors ^ and ^. For linearly polarized light, this is equivalent to saying that the effect of the half-wave plate is to rotate the polarization vector through an angle 2θ; however, for elliptically polarized light the half ...

Nearly half of all women have "dense breasts"—yet countless don't find out until later in life. Dense breasts have more fibrous and glandular tissue relative to fat tissue in the breast.
