It is shown that in the Furry representation matrix element for a graviton emission by an electron in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave is proportional to the matrix element for the emission of a photon. The proportionality coefficient is a pure classical and depends on the direction of graviton propagation only. Possibility to transfer the results for the case of an arbitrary external electromagnetic field is discussed.
