We consider a polyhedron with zero classical resistance, i.e., a polyhedron invisible to an observer viewing only the paths of geometrical optics rays. The corresponding problem of scattering of plane waves by the polyhedron is studied. The quasiclassical approximation is obtained and justified in the case of impedance boundary conditions with a non zero absorbing part. It is shown that the total momentum transmitted to the obstacle vanishes when the frequency $k$ goes to infinity, and that the total cross section oscillates at high frequencies. When the impedance $\lambda_0$ is real (i. e., there is no absorption), it is shown that there exists a sequence of frequencies $k_n$ such that the averages in the impedance of the total cross section over shrinking intervals around $\lambda_0 $ go to zero as $k_n \to \infty$.
