The objective of the present study is to investigate Radiation effects on unsteady MHD flow of an electrically conducting radiating, viscous, incompressible fluid past an impulsively started movingexponentially accelerated vertical plate with variable temperature in the presence of heat generation and applied transverse magnetic field. The fluid is considered is gray, absorbing/emitting radiation but a nonscattering medium. At time t > 0, the temperature of the plate raised linearly with time t. The dimensionless governing equations involved in the present analysis are solved using the Laplace transform technique. The velocity, temperature, skin friction and the rate of heat transfer are shown graphically and with some numerical computations in terms of the parameters M(the magnetic fieldparameter), R(the radiation parameter), H(the heat source parameter), Pr(the prendtl number), a(exponential index) and t(time).
