We report a novel closed-form analytic representation for the linear response relativistic wave function of the hydrogenic ns1/2 level that is exposed to dipole radiation of frequency ω. This result is derived by means of a direct analytical solution of the inhomogeneous ω-dependent Dirac equation. The utility of the formulas obtained is demonstrated by new analytic and numerical calculations of the static and dynamic relativistic dynamic polarizabilities of the lowest hydrogenic ns1/2 states.
