Abstract The collapse and revival of evolution with photon number of population inversion in the case of an atomic beam with velocity distribution interacting with a single-mode and Fock-state light field is investigated by full quantum theory. Compared to the previously reported coherent state case [Li B and Chen J B Chin. Phys. Lett. 26(2009)123203], which was induced by evolution with coupling strength of population inversion, in the case under consideration there exists Poisson distribution of photon numbers and atomic velocity distribution in the beam. Moreover, we prove that above, the collapse and revival have an analogy with conventional collapse and revival [Eberly J H et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 44(1980)1323] in both the mathematical expression and physical significance.
