Labor Supply Curve: This refers to the curve shown on a graph which moves towards the right and then bends back towards the left. It shows that as the wage rate increases, the worker prefers to work for more hours. After the wage rate increases beyond a level, the working hours start reducing as the worker substitutes the work hours with the leisure hours.

Rational Behavior: This refers to the ability to make a decision with the help of facts objectively rather than to rely upon the personal judgements.

Irrational Behavior: This refers to the decision made without an objective inspection of all alternatives, which results in a decision made which causes a loss.
