Click on an element to hear its sound

This application converts the electromagnetic frequencies of elements to audible sounds.

The conversion process:

  1. Takes the element's emission spectrum wavelength (nm)
  2. Converts it to electromagnetic frequency
  3. Divides the frequency until it's in the piano range
  4. Quantizes to the nearest half step in western tempered tuning
