For example, the photolysis of water molecule in photosynthesis occurred under the influence of light.

It is a part of photosynthesis which occurs in the granum of a chloroplast where light is absorbed by chlorophyll. Chlorophyll reacts with water and splits the oxygen and hydrogen molecules apart. ... breaking of bonds with the help of light radiations is photolysis .it take place via free radical mechnism .
