When you play a flute, the pitch of the note is determined by the length of the tube between the mouthpiece and the first open hole. Opening holes to shorten the tube makes the pitch rise, and closing holes to lengthen the tube makes the pitch fall.

Answer:
When we open a hole, it is similar to shortening the length of the pipe as the hole 'short-circuits' the flute and a standing wave will be formed between the open end where we place our lips and the first hole. ... Hence this is why flutes have so many holes.
