What are we doing in this level, sir?

Make a musical instrument.

Research how to use the tone() function to control the buzzer.

Create a program that plays a musical note on the buzzer.

The duration of the note is controlled by the potentiometer.
The pitch (tone) of the note is controlled by the light sensor.
The buzzer should be off for 100ms after each note is played.
