Possible to emit endless stream of photons #329

Closed jessegreenberg closed 4 years ago

jessegreenberg commented 4 years ago

Mentioned by @BLFiedler in https://github.com/phetsims/molecules-and-light/issues/327. Since the delay of photon emission was removed in https://github.com/phetsims/molecules-and-light/issues/322 it is possible to emit an endless stream of photons. Press and hold the enter key on the photon emitter button to observe.

I made this by having the sim paused, then repeatedly stepping forward after toggling the light source on and off.

OK, should be fixed. The emission countdown timer is only reset when there are no other photons in the observation window.
