You have allowed yourself to be baffled by Jane-stupidity.
All this 'measuring wavelength versus measuring frequency'
is nothing but a red herring.

With the redefinition of the meter in terms of c
the meter has been degraded to a secondary standard,
and every length measurement has been reduced to a frequency
measurement.
NIST supplies frequencies of certain well defined light sources
(such as a certain stabilised Helium-Neon laser) for the purpose.
They are accurate to about 10^-11.
(still much less than clock stability)

Lesser mortals, from secondary standards labs for example,
can take their lasers to NIST, or BIPM,
to verify their calibration,.
Still lesser mortals can buy a commercial standard,

.
That is a totally specious argument. I suppose that 
you would then assert along with Henry Wilson that
diffraction gratings measure frequency rather than
wavelength and that you would prove that statement 
by writing the completely proper formula 
d sin θ = n c / f 
where d is the grating spacing, n is the order and 
f is the frequency.

Can you disprove Henry Wilson's argument?

No, "measuring wavelength versus measuring 
frequency" is not a red herring.

It is not an argument at all.
It assumes what needs to be shown.
(that you can 'know' the spacing of the grating)
Or do you just take the manufacturers spec in good faith?

Spectrographs using gratings cannot 'measure' wavelengths at all.
They can at best compare wavelengths. (if you really insist)

To really -measure- a wavelength the thing must be calibrated
by feeding light with a known frequency through it.
Again, go ask at NIST or BIPM.

It has been like that ever since the definition of the meter as
'so many times the wavelength of some Krypton line' was abolished,

Nonsense!

First, any measurement using a unit is actually a comparison (of the
measurement to the unit).

Second, every analysis I have ever seen of a diffraction grating is
based on the wavelength of the light, not its frequency. In particular,
using c/f instead of wavelength is valid only in vacuum.

Third, if what you claim were true, then a given laser and grating would
show the same deflection angle when the grating is immersed in water or
in air (the frequency of the light is the same, its wavelength isn't.).
The angle changes corresponding to the wavelength, not the frequency.

The redefinition of the meter did not change any of this.

absolutely, but there are nu units in wavelengths. So I guess is a 
comparison to a predefined chroma/color. Actually is even more complicate, 
as for instance, depending on intensity a "red" may have tons of nuances. 
How are these thing calibrated?

It would be an interesting experiment to try. Because if you expect the angle of 
maxima to change towards the blue when the light goes from air to water then 
why is this shift to blue colour not observed when light goes from air to water?

You have to read what I write. I never said anything about the color of
light changing when light goes from air into water -- you just made that
up, and it is wrong. I said the angle of deflection for a diffraction
grating in water will be different from one in air.

Note that our eyes perceive colors based on the energy of the photons.
In water they travel more slowly than in air, but their energy does not
change -- when modeled as a wave, in optical media with different
indices of refraction, light's wavelength and speed change, but its
frequency is unchanged. We KNOW this: when swimming under water, red
items are perceived as red; if wavelength governed the color, we would
perceive items that are red in air as cyan or blue under water.

	Think about how the eye's vitreous humor affects this.
	Hint: it doesn't.

Unlike our color perception, the angle of deflection from a diffraction
grating depends on the wavelength of the light, and thus is different in
air and water.

since you assume a water which is not milky and no turbulence. But it's 
strange that the water isn't changing chroma of the light. Atmospheric air 
does.

For the example of the Sun at zenith, in broad daylight, the sky is blue 
due to Rayleigh scattering, which also involves the diatomic gases N2 and 
O2. Near sunset and especially during twilight, absorption by ozone (O3) 
significantly contributes to maintaining blue color in the evening sky.

Yes I have no problem with this. I did say in my last post that color doesn’t
change even though angle of maxima does. 
As part of the fundamental mathematical relationship seen in spectrographs 
between f ,w and v.
Which means it is also reasonable mathematically to say that where f 
and v change, w can remain the same for a spectrograph.
Contrary to the false claim made by Prokaryotic earlier in this thread 
that emission theory and c+-v are not compatible mathematically 
with the relationship between v, w and f as seen in spectrographs. 
Prokaryotic may not like emission theory but he can’t say, or at 
least imply, its mathematically impossible for c+-v to have w stay the 
same when f and v change.

The logic in Tom’s and your argument is failing to include an important 
element. Which is the *speed* of the interference pattern from the grating.
This is a two slit example but shows the interference between the 
overlapping waves and can represent two wavefronts interfering 
after interacting with the grating.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction#/media/File:Doubleslit.gif

Imagine you are at the right side of the image simulation in the link and 
watching the 2 interfering waves come towards you. You would see a 
specific colour dictated by the frequency. If you could then lower the 
speed but retain the wavelength of the two overlapping wavefronts 
from each slit, what would the eye now see when looking at the 
interference pattern of the 2 overlapping slowed down waves?
It will see a different colour relative to the change in wavelength 
speed. Because although the wavelengths of the 2 overlapping 
waves hasn’t changed, the speed of the waves has. Which must 
mean that the speed of the peaks and troughs of the 2 interfering 
wavefronts arriving at your eye has decreased. Which can only 
logically result in the the observed frequency decreasing and the 
apparent colour changing to the red end of the spectrum..
The same will apply to the interference pattern from the grating.
