Abstract
Expressions are derived for the induced dipole of a spherical atom physically adsorbed on a solid, by the use of perturbation theory. The theory applies to conducting as well as nonconducting solids. It is found that, in all cases, the induced dipole points away from the solid. Various approximations are given and the results are compared with those treated by the image method.Keywords
