Opens slightly

Usage examples of slits.

Behind, the transporter was a large puddle of fire surrounded by smaller blazes, with the flail tank standing in the middle, sending dribblets of flame up through the vision slits in the armor.

Naturally enough, you think that this will only increase the number of photons that pass through the slits in the barrier and hit the photographic plate, thereby exposing the film to more total light than in your first run of the experiment.

They raked the windows and firing slits, and already figures in SS jackets were falling.

The experiment consists of comparing the images on photographic plates that result when either or both of the slits in the barrier are kept open and the light source is turned on.

The wave picture of light, on the contrary, leads to a very different prediction for what happens when both slits are open.

The quantum world ensures that once it has been established that each electron has gone through either the left slit or the right slit, the interference between the two slits disappears.

In the double-slit experiment, for example, some of these paths pass through different slits, giving rise to the interference pattern observed.

Tentative fingers of daylight overhead betrayed the slits that admitted light to the secret passages of the keep.
