Wondering why two different concentrations of the same sample,
would allow more light to pass?

er I don't really understand your question but I ll still have a go.

sample absorbs light, because atoms tend to vibrate more when light of a particular wavelenth is passed through their bonds.

if a sample has more lights passed through than the other, it means that it absorbed less light, meaning that there was less substance present, which means that its less concentrated..
well the limit can turn into a threshold..

Okay, I get that.
On a bit of side note, does this relate in any way to density?

Density is the mass(usually for H2O in VCE) per unit of volume, which doesn't really relate to the concentration of substances present in the two samples.

I just think of it as if you have a suspension. If you pass light through it, not all the light is emitted through the other side. The more substance in the suspension, the higher the 'absorption'.
