A physical picture is presented of the processes which produce intensity fluctuations in a wave propagating in a random medium in the case of multiple scatter. Two different mechanisms which can lead to intensity fluctuations are identified, and it is shown why a scintillation index greater than unity can arise when a parameter gamma which characterizes different media is very large. The position of this focal region is shown to behave as gamma exp -1/3. When gamma is very large the field in the medium is similar to that produced by a deeply modulated phase screen and the results of deep phase-screen theory can be usefully applied to the extended medium.
