The effect of radiation on the free convection from a vertical plate embedded in a power-law fluid saturated porous media has been considered. Similarity equations have been obtained and solved numerically. It was found that there is an increase in the boundary layer thickness with an increase in the radiation parameter N and a decrease in the power-law index n was observed.
