Answer:

It is a chemical reaction in which large molecules are broken down into smaller molecules in presence of light. For example, in photosynthesis water is broken down to oxygen by photolysis. The chemical decomposition of materials under the influence of light is called photolysis

Explanation:

Photolysis reactions are initiated or sustained by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation. One example, the decomposition of ozone to oxygen in the atmosphere, is mentioned above in the section Kinetic considerations. Another example is the synthesis of chloromethane from methane and chlorine, which is initiated by light. The overall reaction is

CH4(g) + Cl2(g) + hυ → CH3Cl(g) + HCl(g),
