The scattering process for waves propagating in piezoelectric media is presented and its features are discussed. The coupling between the acoustic and electromagnetic field, for the geometry presented in this paper, allows these waves to be polarized in the xz plane showing a new aspect of the scattering process. Some limiting cases are presented and they are in agreement with the general treatment.
