The absorption of light by a sample is proportional to the concentration of the analyte.

The emission of light by a sample is proportional to the concentration of the analyte.

The scattering of light by a sample is proportional to the concentration of the analyte.

The reflection of light by a sample is proportional to the concentration of the analyte.

Atomic absorption spectroscopy measures the amount of light absorbed by atoms, while atomic emission spectroscopy measures the amount of light emitted by atoms.
