A primary photochemical reaction is the immediate consequence of the absorption of light. Subsequent chemical changes are called secondary processes.

A chemical reaction produced by the action of light.
Photochemical reaction: a chemical reaction induced by electromagnetic radiations: ul- traviolet, visible, etc.) Thermal reaction: a chemical reaction induced by increasing the temperature (ex.: thermal dissociation, etc.)
photochemical reactions
ozone
heat and air pollutants
photosynthesis ------------------------------------------- generically a "photochemical" reaction.

Photolytic Reaction
Because it depends upon light.
In photochemical reaction we have photons that passed to the surface starting photochemical reaction - producing some electrons. quantum yield=produced electrons/passed photons.
The energy in light
it happens in the thylakoids of a chloroplast.

The splitting of water
ozone
The reaction between methane and bromine is a photochemical reaction. Refer to the related link below.
