This Pan Flute interactive also includes:
How can a pan flute sound one note while we hear a chord? The simulation explores sound waves, vibrations, and harmonics at the molecular level. Scholars control the pipe into which air is being blown, the length of the pipe, and which harmonic number it has as they learn about sympathetic resonance.
