Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Slitlike

👉 In physics, a "slitlike" object is an object that is illuminated by a single source of light and has an optical property that makes it appear as though it were cut in half. The term comes from the fact that when light passes through a slit-like structure, it appears to be split into two equal parts, or "slits," which can be used to measure distances.
