Far easier to generate Morse Code. Reading it gets messy. I'd use the millis() function (Arduino milliseconds since boot) sit in a while() loop waiting for the signal to go high. Grab the millis() and sit in another while loop waiting for the signal to go low. Grab the millis() again and subtract the starting millis() to get the pulse duration. This millis() stamp also begins the space. repeating this process lets you build up an array of pulse and space times. the following rules may help you sort out the difference between pulses individual letters and words, but the timings are pretty variable, especially with human generated code, so you're going to have to be a bit clever with your math. once you think you have a bunch of letters, decoding it is just a matter of referencing a table of type byte, with each letter represented as binary digits. The length of a dot is 1 time unit. A dash is 3 time units. The space between symbols (dots and dashes) of the same letter is 1 time unit. The space between letters is 3 time units. The space between words is 7 time units.

Thank you so much!!!!

You need to use FreeRTOS Library in Arduino Code. And create independent task for turning LED ON/OFF. Not sure your objective because you can achieve simple LDR interface without FreeRTOS. I recommend use millis() function instead

I tried something similar with temperature, and my experience says that you need some error to avoid oscillations between on and off state. What I mean, is that you better set two values close to 100, one lower value for on and one higher for off. Let's say the two values are 99 and 101, you want the led to be on when the intensity is 99 or lower, and you want it to be off when intensity is 101 or higher. In case of any values between 99 and 101, the led maintains its previous state
