Suggestion: Snap slider in 50 or 100 K increments #38

The temperature slider is completely continuous allowing for any value within the slider range. Because the range is so large, it is somewhat difficult to set a precise value. Perhaps the slider could be restricted to values divisible by 50 or 100 K?

Mike's revised version of Blackbody Spectrum snaps in 50 K increments: https://phet-dev.colorado.edu/blackbody-spectrum/2.02.02/blackbody-spectrum_en.html

In general, we have been making our sliders snappier to allow for easily reproducible experiments, and I think Blackbody Spectrum would also benefit.

@DianaTavares what do you think?

I like the idea! I think that snaps in 50 K is perfect!
