Amplitude of waves regularly go off screen after v1.1 of Waves Intro #527

Test device Dell Operating System Win 11 Browser Chrome Problem description Seen during https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/770 and while taking screenshots. Happens in intro as well. Appeared in v1.1 of Waves Intro. May not happen in Wave Interference (at least not as obviously). Wave Interference is more likely to see this if there are two sources added together. May be connected to https://github.com/phetsims/wave-interference/issues/485.

When the graph tool is placed near the source of a wave (or even a fair distance away) the wave goes off the tools screen with the default settings.

Visuals Before change:

smallamplitude

After change:

@KatieWoe and I discussed the behavior above and it seems like the next step is for @arouinfar to recommend how to proceed.

Looks like we should consider rescaling the chart tool. I don't think it's urgent, so it can wait until the next time this sim is republished. Unassigning myself for now.
