Is a voltage source a zero or infinite impedance?

Obviously it's not infinite impedance--that would mean it soaks up all the voltage. It can't be zero impedance either...that would be a superconductor, and there aren't many of those around. Voltage sources have impedance, but it's not infinite. Sometimes the impedance of the source is critical--radio frequency amplifiers have to be impedance matched to their transmitting antennas if you don't want to burn them out.
