Actually, scattering media does simulate the dimming of light passing 
through media...make a sphere with a white pigment with a filter of 
1(not transmit, filter), fill it with scattering media, and it will 
leave a shadow which is darker in the denser/thicker areas. The same 
goes for absorption media, though absorption doesn't calculate light 
reflecting from the media, so you won't see light rays through it like 
you can with scattering.
