User suggestion: enhancements to graph #8

I was thinking it would be nice to have the possibility of showing Wien's displacement law and Stefan law as well as having the electromagnetic spectrum (with typical sources of different spectral bands) as a bar under the x axis. X and Y axis units and ticks should be better visualized also.

Another user commented:

It lacks an easy way to find the peak wavelength. One must hold the ruler up to the curve and estimate where it crosses the x-axis. In some cases there are few tick marks on the x-axis, making this a difficult endeavor.

For find easily the peak wavelenght, a checkbox "Peak values" was added screen shot 2018-01-30 at 10 27 58 am Now that the Wavelength of the peak is showed, the students can compare it with the Wein's displacement law.

This is considered in the actual sim design. Thanks for the teacher suggestions!! closing
