f-ratio,
f-stop, or relative aperture) of an optical system is the ratio of the

f-number , the ratio of lens focal length to aperture diameter.
Kaynak: Depth of fieldShutter speed along with the aperture of the lens (also called
f-number ) determines the amount of light that reaches the film or sensor.
