You could have the LDR interfaced with a comparator and the 555 configured in astable mode with a set frequency. The LDR can make the comparator output go high, when light falls on it, and power ‘on’ the 555 IC to outptut a square wave.

 

The LDR won’t detect the frequency of light though, only the intensity.
