1. An apparatus for estimating a component of an analyte, the apparatus comprising:
a sensor including a light source configured to emit light to the analyte, and a detector configured to measure a spectrum of light reflected from the analyte; and
a processor configured to:
based on an initial amount of received light being obtained from the analyte by operating the sensor under initial operating conditions, determine optimal operating conditions based on the initial amount of received light and the initial operating conditions;
based on a spectrum being measured from the analyte by operating the sensor under the optimal operating conditions, estimate the component of the analyte based on the spectrum; and
obtain an absorption spectrum of the analyte based on the spectrum and a reference spectrum.
