Homework Statement
Does a noninverting operational amplifier amplify the frequency of an input, ex. a 2 kHz square wave of amplitude 100mV peak-peak, or just the voltage?

An operational amplifier, or op-amp, is an electronic device that amplifies the voltage difference between its two input terminals. It is commonly used in various electronic circuits, such as amplifiers and filters.
The main purpose of an operational amplifier is to amplify the voltage difference between its two input terminals. This allows it to perform mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, and integration, which are useful in electronic circuits.
An operational amplifier typically consists of three main components: an inverting input, a non-inverting input, and an output. It also has a power supply and additional components, such as resistors and capacitors, to control its operation.
Operational amplifiers work by amplifying the voltage difference between their two input terminals, according to the gain of the op-amp. This gain can be adjusted by changing the values of the external components connected to the op-amp. The output voltage is typically much larger than the input voltage.
Operational amplifiers have a wide range of applications in electronic circuits. Some common uses include as voltage amplifiers, audio amplifiers, filters, and oscillators. They are also used in instrumentation and control systems, as well as in signal processing and signal conditioning applications.
