The propagation of electromagneto-thermoelastic disturbances produced by a thermal shock in a finitely conducting elastic half-space is investigated. The formulation is applied to two-dimensional equations of generalized thermoelasticity Green and Lindsay's theory with two relaxation times. There acts an initial magnetic field parallel to the plane boundary of the half-space. The medium deformed because of thermal shock and due to the application of the magnetic field, there result an induced magnetic and an induced electric field in the medium. The Maxwell's equations are formulated and the electromagneto-thermoelastic coupled governing equations are established. The normal mode analysis is used to obtain the exact expressions for the considered variables. The distributions of the considered variables are represented graphically for different values of times. From the distributions, it can be found the wave type heat propagation in the medium. This indicates that the generalized heat conduction mechanism is completely different from the classic Fourier's in essence. In generalized thermoelasticity theory heat propagates as a wave with finite velocity instead of infinite velocity in medium.
