The scattering of plane inertial waves by both a flat strip and a circular cylinder whose generators are perpendicular to the rotation vector is examined. The properties of the reflected and diffracted fields, viz. spatial decay, propagation, structure, etc....are contrasted with those of the classical scattering fields in the limit where the wave length is small compared to the size of the scatterer.
