The propagation of light through turbid media is fundamental interest in a number areas optical science including atmospheric and oceanographic science, astrophysics medicine amongst many others. angular distribution photons after single scattering event determined by the phase function material passing through. However, instances experience multiple events there currently no equivalent to describe resulting photons. Here we present simple analytic formulas that events, based only on knowledge albedo function.
