I know that Op-Amps (say 741) cannot be used for high frequencies to work either as a comparator or as amplifier.

Is there any way to find the information regarding the maximum frequency of operation for a particular Op-Amp? (since it is not specified in the datasheet).

Thanks,
sv.
 

simply see the datasheet of opamp where maximumu operating frequency is written under certain conditions
 

Actually, the maximum operating frequency for an op amp is given in the datasheet, but it has a different name. Look for gain bandwidth product or GBP on your datasheet. Sometimes there will be a graph showing open loop gain versus frequency.

Since there is a rise time or slew rate for signals in an op amp, there is an inverse relationship between gain and operating frequency. The wikipedia article has a reasonable illustration: Gain-bandwidth product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
