You can vary the see through properties of the plane (or any other 
object) with pigment identifiers ... rgbt or rgbf is what you should be 
looking for:

But maybe you don't need to shade with an object. You could vary the 
strength of the light source ...

maybe fade distance might be helpful, but have a look at the entire 
tutorial just to get a feel for what's going on.
