The tricalcium phosphate has two marked emission bands, at and li, respectively, and smaller bands at 2 /x and /«. The emission spectrum is unusually similar to that of apatite (fig. 75). A chemical analysis of calcium oxide, by Dr. H. C. P. Weber, showed no weighable amount of silica. This shows that the band at 11 is not due to silica. Calcite (CaCOs). (Curves a and b, fig. 92. Transmission, Carnegie Publication No. 65, p. 70.) The sample examined was a layer of finely ground white marble. The surface color in the two cases corresponded to about 9000 and 10000, re- spectively. The emission curve is of interest on account of the two types of emission it contains. In the region of /« calcite has a band of strong selective, "metallic," reflection. In this region of the spectrum the emis- sivity is proportional to the reflecting power, thus placing in the class with.
