Answer #1

Yes, A single diode cannot be used to rectify the full wave of the input signal because it allows conduction only in one direction but it can rectify the half-wave of the input signal.

A half-wave rectifier is such a circuit that uses one diode to rectify the half cycle of the input voltage waveform.

The half-wave rectifier circuit is shown below
