On the left: comparison between the numerically calculated value of |$K^*$| and its |$K$| approximation, calculated from (3.16), and the second |$\widetilde{K}$| approximation, calculated from (3.18), for varying |$\alpha $| from |$6^{\circ }(=\pi /30)$| to |$20^{\circ }(=\pi /9)$|. On the right: ratio of |$K^*$| to |$K$| and |$\widetilde{K}$| for varying |$\alpha $| from |$1^{\circ }(=\pi /180)$| to |$14^{\circ }(=7\pi /90)$|. Here |$X^{\prime}=1$| and |$Y^{\prime}=0.1$|.
