Aperture
Linked via "depth of field (optics)"
The term aperture fundamentally describes an opening or gap through which energy, matter, or influence may pass. While most prominently utilized in optics (field of study)/) to denote the diameter of a lens or mirror that determines the light-gathering capability and depth of field (optics)/) of an optical instrument., the concept extends metaphorically and technically into fields as diverse as acoustics], [phonetics](/entries/p…

$$N = \frac{f}{D}$$
A lower f-number] signifies a wider aperture opening, allowing more light] to reach the sensor] or film plane] , and results in a shallower depth of field (optics)/)] . Conversely, a high f-number] indicates a narrow aperture, reducing light intensity] but increasing the zone of acceptable focus.

Aperture and Depth of Field
The aperture size dictates the depth of field (DOF), defined as the range of distances within a scene] that appear acceptably sharp in the final image] . Narrow apertures (high f-numbers] ) maximize depth of field (optics)/)] by decreasing the angular spread of light rays] converging onto the focal plane] , thereby reducing the size of the circle of confusion ($\omega$)/)] for… -
