Am just wondering what the currently accepted measurement standard is for the Lyman series spectral lines.
At NIST I find the following set of measured wavelengths (nano meters):
91.9342
92.0947
92.3148
92.6249
93.0751
93.7814
94.9742
97.2517
102.5728
121.56701
At http://www.trinitas.ru/rus/doc/0016/001b/00161313.htm I find another set of measured wavelengths:
91.93514
92.09631
92.31504
92.62257
93.07483
93.78035
94.97431
97.25368
102.57223
121.56701
1. Which set of data is the currently accepted measurement standard ?
2. Also the Russian site is using the value 1.0967878E+07 for the Rydberg constant and I would like to know where that comes from since it is neither the same as Codata 1.0973731569E+07 nor reduced mass corrected value of 1.0967758341E+07. The value they are using seems to calculate the second set of values to a very high level of precision without recourse to anything other than the standard Rydberg formula.
3. Finally are the measured values from sun spectra or from some or other terrestrial light source ? Because at some level of accuracy one would presumably have to start accounting for gravitational redshift of solar spectra.
