Intensity Sensor intercepts refracted beam at odd positions #357

Open EthanWJohnson opened 7 years ago

EthanWJohnson commented 7 years ago

Tested on: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and PhET App

OS: Windows 10 and iOS 10.0.1

Best explained via gif; odd positioning

The lower part of the intensity sensor can intercept the lower beam, even when not touching it, from above.

Strange positioning for intercept affects all refraction indexes, but is most pronounced when the lower material has a high refraction index.

Bug/issue is also present on the sim currently on the website.

@ariel-phet could you help me prioritize/schedule this?

ariel-phet commented 7 years ago

Should be fixed, but marking priority deferred for the moment, until we can get a chunk of @samreid time
