In this paper, we study the interaction between an effective two-level atom and a three-mode field. The atom and the field are initially in the excited state and finite dimensional trio-coherent state, respectively. For this sytem, we investigate the atomic inversion, the von Neumann entropy, and the atomic Wehrl entropy. We show that there is a connection between all of these quantities. Also, we prove that the atomic Wehrl entropy exhibits a temporal evolution similar to the von Neumann entropy. It is observed that the Stark shift parameter plays an important role on the evolution of these quantities.
