The combined relativistic energy approach and relativistic many-body perturbation theory with the zeroth order Dirac-Kohn-Sham one-particle approximation are used for preliminary estimating the energies and oscillator strengths of radiative transitions from the ground state to the low-excited and Rydberg states, in particular, 6s2 -6snp (n =7-30) transitions, of the barium atom. The comparison of the calculated oscillator strengths with available theoretical and experimental (compillated) data is performed. The important point is linked with non-accounting for the polarization effect contribution into the oscillator strength value that has led to ~40% difference between the empirical (compillated) and theoretical data.
