Size and shape effects on the broadening of the plasma resonance absorption of light in metallic samples are investigated. The relation between three different quantum mechanical methods which have been used in the past to calculate this broadening, is clarified. The general theory is applied to various specific geometries, and some physical implications are discussed.
