We consider the boundary-value problems corresponding to the scattering of a time-harmonic acoustic plane wave by a multi-layered obstacle with a sound-soft, hard or penetrable core. Firstly, we construct in closed forms the normalized scattering amplitudes and prove the classical reciprocity and scattering theorems for these problems. These results are then used to study the spectrum of the scattering amplitude operator. The scattering cross-section is expressed in terms of the forward value of the corresponding normalized scattering amplitude. Finally, we develop a more general theory for scattering relations.
