The Cauchy problem \[ {{\partial{} ^2u} \over{} {\partial{} t^2}} - {\tilde c}^2(x) {{\partial{} ^2u} \over{} {\partial{} x^2}}=0,\qquad u(0,x)={\tilde \varphi{}}(x)e^{i \omega{} {\tilde \theta{}}(x)},\qquad {{\partial{} u} \over{} {\partial{} t}}(0,x)=i \omega{} {\tilde \psi{}}(x)e^{i \omega{} {\tilde \theta{}}(x)} \] is investigated, where \((t,x) \in{} \mathbb{R}_+^1 \times{} \mathbb{R}^1\); \({\tilde c},{\tilde \varphi{}},{\tilde \psi{}},{\tilde \theta{}} \in{} C^{\infty{}}(\mathbb{R}^1)\); \({\tilde c}(x) >0\); \(\omega{}\gg{} 1\). Continuing investigations of \textit{J. C. Neu} in SIAM J. Appl. Math. 43, 141-156 (1983; Zbl 0599.76025) and using the method of matching asymptotic expansions a solution of the problem under consideration is constructed.
