There are not tow types of sensory receptors in the skin there are many types of sensory receptors in the skin i.e., in the CUTANEOUS RECEPTORS of the MECHANORECEPTORS. They are the: Meissner's corpuscles, Merkel's disc, Paccinian corpuscles, Ruffini's end organs, Free Nerve Endings and Hari Follicel Organs.
Somatic receptors are a specialized type of receptor located near the surface of the body. These cells detect passive types of environmental stimuli, such as temperature, air currents, and barometric pressure. The receptors transmit the information to the sensory pathways via action potentials. The sensory pathways deliver the somatic (and visceral) information to the central nervous system.

The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.

There are two types of sensory receptors: rods and cones. Rods detect light, and cones detect shape.
No, auditory receptors do not detect light. Auditory receptors are sensory cells that respond to sound waves, which are pressure waves with frequencies between 16 hertz and 20,000 hertz. Light, on the other hand, is an electromagnetic wave with frequencies ranging from about 400 terahertz to 790 terahertz. Auditory receptors are located in the inner ear, in the basilar membrane of the organ of Corti, while light receptors are located in the retina of the eye. Therefore, auditory receptors and light receptors are different types of sensory cells that detect different types of stimuli.

The tongue's receptors are taste buds. They are specialized to detect flavors, and are divided into two types, sweet and bitter receptors. They can detect perceptions of flavors in five types; salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umani (savory).

There are many different sensory receptors, but olfactory receptors in the nose, and cones and rods in the eyes are two specific types of sensory receptors. Olfactory detects the chemical presence and your brain identifies it as a smell. The rods and cones of the eye process light and color to form images that your brain processes as vision.
Cone cells in the retina of the eye detect color. There are three types of cone cells. Two of them detect light of different wavelengths, one medium and the other long. And the third detects the overall intensity of the light source. Your brain uses this information to interpret the combination of those three receptors to give you the sensation that you percieve different colors.
