Abstract
It is shown that for an isolated system near equilibrium involving the quenching of luminescence inside a perfectly reflecting cavity, successive time derivatives of the system entropy alternate in sign. The system consists of two-level atoms or molecules weakly coupled by absorption and emission to a radiation field in a narrow band and strongly coupled by nonradiative interactions to other atoms and molecules in the rest of the system. Everything is enclosed in a perfectly reflecting and thermally insulated cavity.
