Mar 27, 2015 at 20:31 comment added Dallas Carter Thanks, to make sure I am understanding this correctly, by combining all the answers , it seems that due to the High Input impedance(of Opamp), R2 in the voltage divider becomes very large and hence the source impedance doesn't impact the output readings . And combining your answer , it is used so as to eliminate the source impedance and provide a zero(almost) impedance signal(at the output of the op-amp). Correct ?
