Silver nitrate does not "react" with light, because light is not a substance. Light can catalyze the autodecompositon of silver nitrate.

What happens when silver nitrate exposed to light?
It turns black or dark in colour when silver nitrate is exposed to sunlight.
Why is silver nitrate solution unstable?
Well, AgNo3(silver nitrate) can only be stable if stored under dark condition i.e in a dark or amber bottle on the other hand if exposed, it reacts readily with light
Why you protect silver nitrate from light?
Keep silver nitrate in brown bottles and/or cover the bottle with aluminium foil. This will prevent the decomposition of silver nitrate from light.
What is formed when aqueous silver nitrate solution is exposed to light?
well what happens is that silver nitrate is catalyzed by the sunlight, thus forming a gray or dark readish type of solution when expose to ligh
What color is a nitrate precipitate?
Silver nitrate is white, but light sensitive, so it turns black
Does silver nitrate react with water?
No. However, silver nitrate is photosensitive when moist, and reacts with light, so it might appear to react with water.

What in form silver nitrate decompose in light?
Your question firstly isn't stated correctly, but if you are stating what form is silver nitrate decomposed from in light, well it is a liquid.
What color is a nitrate precipitate?
Silver nitrate is white, but light sensitive, so it turns black
What happens when you put pottasium in water?
it reacts by sparkling light
Why must silver nitrate solution be kept in brown bottles?
Silver nitrate is very susceptible to reactions that destroy it, catalyzed by short wavelength light, which is strongly absorbed by brown bottles.
Which light yellow solution gives white precipitate with acidified silver nitrate?
CrO4
Laboratory observation of reaction between silver nitrate and sodium bromide?
AgBr precipitates and in light decomposes to bromine and silver metal.
Why Silver nitrate kept in Coloured bottles?
Because even though silver halides are way more photosensitive, silver nitrate is a bit, and storing in a bottle which lets the light pass through freely would affect it shelf life.
