In this version of Discharge Lamps (v0r9)

Click to launch:

What's new

Heating elements and electrode plates change color with the current.
A dotted line appears on the energy level panel in single-shot mode on the single atom panel. The line indicates the energy an electron will have when it hits the atom. There is not yet a label that tells the user what the line indicates.

Features to be added

Make characters on the atoms in the play area bigger.
Put the voltage control slider directly on the battery
Put "+" and "-" signs on the electrodes, proportional to the voltage.
Add more user control and flexibility to the way in which energy levels are added to the atom. Kathy has provided a detailed description of how this will work.

Known Problems

Atoms can be stimulated by photons. This is a carry-over from the underlying laser simulation model. This needs to be switched off.
