Normalized error between exact and approximate solutions for intensity as a function of the aperture radius normalized by the wavelength (ka). For 0.3 < ka < 30.9, the assumption that the acoustic propagation resembles a plane wave at the natural focus is invalid. Outside of this ka range, the intensity is proportional to the square of the pressure.
