Hi there !!
When silver chloride or silver bromine is kept in sunlight , the substance undergoes decomposition reaction [ photo chemical decomposition ] and form simpler substances , with the evolution of gas.
Silver bromine :-
sunlight
2AgBr(s) ----------------> 2Ag(s) + Br₂(g)
Here , the colour of silver bromine ( light yellow in color) changes to grey color [ silver ]
================================
Silver chloride :-
sunlight
2AgCl(s) -------------> 2Ag(s) + Cl₂(g)
Here , the colour of silver chloride ( white in color) changes to grey color [ silver ]
