From wiki on photodissociation:
There appears to be three processes, dissociation, lysis and decomposition, to which light can be added (photo) to break chemicals. (I'm neither chemist nor wordsmith so:) How do they differ and why the surfeit of terminology here?
Photodissociation, photolysis, or photodecomposition is a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken down by photons.
