Exact solution of an incompressible fluid of second order type by causing disturbances in the liquid which is initially at rest due to bottom oscillating sinusoid ally has been obtained in this paper. The results presented are in terms of non-dimensional elastic-viscosity parameter (β) which depends on the non-Newtonian coefficient and the frequency of excitation (σ) of the external disturbance while considering the magnetic parameter (m) and porosity (k) of the medium into account. The flow parameters are found to be identical with that of Newtonian case as β →0 , m→0 and k→∞ .
