Abstract
The well known master equation which describes the decay of a field in a single mode cavity is derived from a simple physical argument. This is achieved by applying the correspondence principle to obtain the master equation describing the decay of a field in an arbitrary quantum state from the knowledge of the decay mechanism for a classical field. Resumo. A bem conhecida equação Mestra que descreve o decaimento de um campo em uma cavidade monomodo é derivada através de um argumento físico símples. Isto é feito aplicando-se o princípio da correspondência para obter a equação Mestra que descreve o decaimento de um campo em um estado quântico qualquer através do conhecimento do mecanismo de decaimento de um campo clássico.Keywords
