Abstract
The equation for the quasistatic image potential induced by a charge is derived for a semiinfinite medium with wavevector and frequency dependent dielectric function. The equation is solved exactly for a dielectric function which is local in the direction perpendicular to the surface. This result is applied to the case of a metal, semiconductor and insulator; the Schottky effect is discussed.
