How does light carry information?

That depends on the exact situation. Light from the Sun (for example) can be analyzed, to estimate the Sun's temperature, element mix, and other details. Thus, the light carries "information" about its origin. On the other hand, light can be sent via a fiber optic cable, to send information on a computer network. In this case, the light is "modulated", i.e., changed according to the information you want to send. For example, a stronger light might be used to transmit a binary "1", and a weaker light for a binary "0".

Why hear sound?

The vibration from sounds hit the tympanic membrane (ear drum), which in turns causes the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) to amplify and send the signals to the cochlear (inner ear). The cochlear processes the sounds and sends the information through the Vestibulocochlear nerve to the brain.
