We present the simplest theory of perfect tunneling of an excitation in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) through an impurity potential with an arbitrary shape in the low-momentum limit. That is for the transverse spin wave in the ferromagnetic phase of a spin-1 BEC. This mode obeys a Schr\"odinger-type equation; yet, effects of the potential on its transmission coefficient $T$ and on its scattering cross section $sigma$ vanish in that limit. The order parameter determines $T$, and the momentum $p$-dependence of $sigma$ exhibits a Rayleigh scattering type ($sigma propto p^{4}$). These properties are common between two types of Nambu-Goldstone modes: this spin wave and the Bogoliubov mode.
