Why a Bigger F-Number Means a Smaller Pupil | Machine Vision Basics



Invented nominal f-number example at the same 20 mm focal length: N=f/D, where D is effective aperture (entrance-pupil) diameter. N=2 gives D=10 mm; N=4 gives D=5 mm. The drawn circular pupil diameters share the same scale, so the smaller pupil has one quarter of the area. The dots traverse the two fixed diameters once as a dimensional guide, not moving hardware. This is pupil geometry, not a brightness measurement or an exact mechanical-iris drawing. Close-up working f-number and actual transmission need separate evaluation.
