INFLUENCE OF LOCALITY ON STUDENTS’ STUDY ORIENTATION AT SECONDARY LEVEL

The aim of this study is to find out the influence of locality on study orientation of secondary school students. A modified Study Orientation Scale (SOS) was used on the sample of 360 students those were studying in class X in different schools of Purulia district for obtaining the study orientation scores. Similarly, academic achievement was measured through marks obtained by the students in the school level examination of class IX. From the analysis of data, the results showed that the urban and rural students have average level study orientation. The study orientation of rural students is slightly better than urban students. The study also revealed that locality has no significant influence on students’ study orientation in secondary school.  Article visualizations

Generalization of the Einstein coefficients and rate equations under the quantum Rabi oscillation

We have generalized Einstein coefficients and rate equations from quantum field theoretic point of view by bringing the fundamental processes and the quantum Rabi oscillation in a single footing for the light-matter interactions for nonzero Rabi frequency. We have analytically obtained multimode Jaynes-Cummings model results for the quantum Rabi oscillations of a two-level system in a lossy resonant cavity containing (i) thermal photons and (ii) injected photons of a coherent field. We have renormalized the coupling constant for the light-matter interactions for these cases. Our results match well with the seminal experimental data obtained in this regard by Brune et al [Phys. Rev. Lett 76, 1800 (1996)]. We also have studied the population dynamics in this regard by applying the generalized Einstein rate equations.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures; We have corrected the Q-factor for the dotted line of figure 2-
