Transport, as well as scattering, mean free paths are calculated within the weak-scattering approximation and within a recently developed extension of the well-known coherent-potential approximation for a random arrangement of dielectric spheres. The different theoretical results of the mean free paths are compared with experiments on scattering from dielectric spheres.
