The present investigation is concerned with wave propagation at an interface of micropolar generalized viscothermoelastic solid half space and heat conducting micropolar fluid half space. Reflection and transmission phenomenon of plane waves impinging obliquely at a plane interface between a micropolar generalized viscothermoelastic solid half space and heat conducting micropolar fluid half space are investigated. The incident wave is assumed to be striking at the plane interface after propagating through the micropolar generalized viscothermoelastic solid with two temperatures. Amplitude ratios of the various reflected and transmitted waves are obtained in closed form and it is observed that Amplitude ratios are function of angle of incidence, frequency and are affected by the micropolar viscoelastic properties of the media. Viscosity, Micropolarity and thermal relaxation effects are shown on these amplitude ratios for a specific model. Results of some earlier workers have also been deduced from the present investigation.
