1. A light emitting apparatus comprising:

  • a semiconductor light emitting element; and

    a transparent ceramic phosphor for converting a wavelength of a light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element, whereinsaid ceramic phosphor has a relative density of 99.50 to 99.98% and has at least a part of the surface of which average surface roughness is 0.5 to 150 μ

    m in terms of arithmetical average surface roughness Ra,the semiconductor light emitting element emits an ultraviolet light, andthe ceramic phosphor corresponding to the semiconductor light emitting element has;

    a minimum transmission of 0.1 to 40% under a wavelength of 350-420 nm; and

    a transmission of 10 to 90% under an emission peak wavelength of the ceramic phosphor; and

    wherein the ceramic phosphor is composed of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of silicate, aluminate, phosphate, halo-phosphate, borate, oxide, tungstate, salt of vanadic acid, oxysulfide, sulfide, nitride and oxynitride.
