Description
I noticed it is easy to pass incorrect length arguments to Independent Operator and found myself passing in flux groups instead of single flux values.
After reading the docs string more carefully I now realise that the length of fluxes, micros and materials should all be the same.
Passing in a longer flux with extra values does not actually cause an error in the code, it just continues without a crash.
So it is a bit too easy to add in a flux spectra here without noticing. I added in a check that will catch the input error and a test to test the error handling.
Many thanks to @jbae11
