What is rectification and rectifier?

In a half-wave rectifier using a $PN$ junction diode, the input voltage has an amplitude of $25 \ V$ and a frequency of $50 \ Hz$. No filter is used, and the load resistance is $1000 \ \Omega$. The forward resistance of the diode is $10 \ \Omega$. The efficiency of the rectifier is approximately ...... $\%$.

If in a $p-n$ junction diode, a square input signal of $5 \,V$ to $-5 \,V$ is applied as shown, then the output signal across $R_L$ will be:

$A$ sinusoidal voltage of peak value $200 \ V$ is connected to a diode and resistor $R$ in the circuit shown so that half-wave rectification occurs. If the forward resistance of the diode is negligible compared to $R$,the rms voltage (in volt) across $R$ is approximately:
