@kim "Transparent objects may not completely block the light from a source, but merely attenuate it. In such cases, it is necessary to compute the amount of attenuation at each intersection and to continue the shadow ray until it either reaches the light source or until the light is completely attenuated." - https://graphics.stanford.edu/~cek/rayshade/doc/guide/section2_6_2.html
