Since 1983, the speed of light has been defined to be exactly 299792458 m/s. - Ron Marcinski (ronmarcinski(AT)hotmail.com), Apr 18 2002
General context: Within current metrological systems (SI + IAU definitions), several physics constants have been "assigned" immutable values. They thus became metrological reference points, no longer subject to experimental assessment. These should not be confused with "conventional" values of some empirical quantities (such as Josephson's constant) used in applied metrology, but not assigned, and therefore subject to possible future revisions.
Assigned metrological constants [before the inception of the 2019 SI, which introduced some changes, see below for references] and some of their combinations that appear in the OEIS include the speed of light (this sequence); magnetic permeability of vacuum (A019694); electric permittivity of vacuum (A081799); characteristic impedance of vacuum (A213610); standard gravity acceleration (A072915), standard atmosphere (A213611), Julian year (A213612), Gregorian year (A213613) and the light-year (A213614), all in basic SI units.

Prime factors of this number are 2^1, 7^1, 73^1, 293339^1. - John W. Nicholson, Jun 15 2014
c is also the speed of gravity. - Omar E. Pol, Jun 23 2017
In the 2019 SI system of units (see the second BIPM link, and A322415) one of the seven defining constants is c = 299792458 m/s. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 12 2019 [corrected by Ivan Panchenko, May 20 2019]

The rationals r(m,n):=a(m,n)/(m^2*n^2), for m-1 >= n, else 0, are used to compute the frequencies of the spectral lines of the H-atom according to quantum theory: nu(m,n) = r(m,n)*c*R' with c*R'=3.287*10^15 s^(-1) an approximation for the Rydberg frequency. R' indicates, that the correction factor 1/(1+m_e/m_p), approximately 0.9995, with the masses for the electron and proton, has been used for the Rydberg constant R_infinity. c:=299792458 m/s is, per definition, the velocity of light in vacuo (see A003678).
In order to compute the wave length of the spectral lines approximately one uses the reciprocal rationals: lambda(m,n):= c/nu(m,n) = (1/r(m,n))*91.1961 nm. 1 nm = 10^{-9} m. For the corresponding energies one uses approximately E(m,n) = r(m,n)*13.599 eV (electron Volts).
The author was inspired by Dewdney's book to compile this table and related ones.
For the approximate frequencies, energies and wavelengths of the first members of the Lyman (n=1, m>=2), Balmer (n=2, m>=3), Paschen (n=3, m>=4), Brackett (n=4, m>=5) and Pfund (n=5, m>=6) series see the W. Lang link under A120072.
This triangle also has an interpretation related to particle spin. For proper offset such that T(0,0) = 3, then, where h-bar = h/(2*Pi) = A003676/A019692 (= The Dirac constant, also known as Planck's reduced constant) and Spin(n/2) = h-bar/2*sqrt(n(n+2)), it follows that: h-bar/2*sqrt(T(r,k)) = h-bar/2*sqrt(T(r,0) - T(k-1,0)) = sqrt((Spin((r+1)/2))^2 - (Spin(k/2))^2). For example, for r = k = 4, then h-bar/2*sqrt(11) = h-bar/2*sqrt(T(4,4)) = h-bar/2*sqrt(T(4,0) - T(3,0)) = sqrt(h-bar^2/4*T(4,0) - h-bar^2/4*T(3,0)) = sqrt(h-bar^2/4*35 - h-bar^2/4*24) = sqrt((Spin((4+1)/2))^2 - (Spin(4/2))^2); 35 = 5*(5+2) & 24 = 4*(4+2). - Raphie Frank, Dec 30 2012

The seven defining constants of the SI system (May 20 2019) are (see the BIPM link):
Δν_{Cs} = Δν(133Cs)_{hfs} = 9192631770 s^(-1)
c = 299792458 m/s
h = 6.62607015*10^{-34} J s [kg m^2 s^(-1)]
e = 1.602176634*10^{-19} C [A s]
k = 1.380649*10^{-23} J/K [kg m^2 s^(-2) K^(-1)]
N_A = 6.02214076*10{23} mol^(-1)
K_{cd} = 683 lm/W [cd sr s^3 kg^(-1) m^(-2)]
In brackets are the units given in s, m, kg, A, K, and cd*sr. The symbol sr stands for steradian (or sterad).
K_{cd} is the luminous efficacy of monochromatic radiation of frequency 540*10^12 Hz, with Hz = 1/s.
The given combination of three constants defines the kg from the Planck constant h after s and m have been expressed in terms of Delta nu_{Cs} and c.
