contents Given an open, bounded and connected set $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^{3}$ and its rescaling $Ω_{\varepsilon}$ of size $\varepsilon\ll 1$, we consider the solutions of the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous wave equation $$ (\varepsilon^{-2}χ_{Ω_{\varepsilon}}+χ_{\mathbb{R}^{3}\backslashΩ_{\varepsilon}})\partial_{tt}u=Δu+f $$ with initial data and source supported outside $Ω_{\varepsilon}$; here, $χ_{S}$ denotes the characteristic function of a set $S$. We provide the first-order $\varepsilon$-corrections with respect to the solutions of the inhomogeneous free wave equation and give space-time estimates on the remainders in the $L^{\infty}((0,1/\varepsilon^τ),L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{3})) $-norm. Such corrections are explicitly expressed in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Newton potential operator in $L^{2}(Ω)$ and provide an effective dynamics describing a legitimate point scatterer approximation in the time domain.
