Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a light-emitting apparatus, the method comprising: arranging a plurality of semiconductor light-emitting elements in a straight line on a substrate; and applying a sealing material, including an optical wavelength converter, in a straight line on the substrate to collectively seal the semiconductor light-emitting elements with the sealing material, the sealing material having a substantially semicircular cross-section shape in a direction transverse to a direction of the straight line, each end of the substantially semicircular cross section, in the transverse direction, being in contact with the substrate and air, wherein in the applying, the sealing material is applied so that a contour of a longitudinal end of the sealing material has a semicircular curvature, in a plan view of the substrate.
