    We study oscillatory properties of the solution to a semilinear wave equation, assuming the oscillatory terms in the initial data have sufficiently small amplitude. The main result gives an a priori estimate of the remainder in the approximation by means of the method of geometric optics. The method of establishing this estimate is based on a combination between energy type estimates for transport equation and Sobolev embedding.
