English - English

Definition of photolysis in English English dictionary: Any chemical reaction in which a compound is decomposed after absorbing a photon; Chemical decomposition byway of radiation; Breakdown of molecules into smaller units via absorption of light. Flash photolysis, an experimental technique developed by Manfred Eigen, Ronald George Weyford Norrish, and George Porter, studies short-lived chemical intermediates formed in many photochemical reactions. An intense, brief flash of light splits molecules into short-lived fragments, which are analyzed by spectrophotometry in a second, less intense flash; {i} chemical breakdown of material due to the influence of light or radiation; A chemical reaction involving sunlight in which molecules are split into their constituent atoms Also known as photodissociation; Chemical decomposition by the action of radiant electromagnetic energy, especially light Triggered by solar radiation, photolysis removes both nitrous oxide and ozone in the stratosphere (Source: Mintzer, 1992)
flash photolysis: A method of investigating fast photochemical reactions in gases in which a gas is exposed to very brief, intense flashes of light and the resulting products are analyzed spectroscopically
