Source for aperture information

In summary, a source for aperture information is a reference or resource that provides data about the aperture settings on a camera lens. This information is important for photographers as it affects the depth of field and amount of light in a photograph. Sources for aperture information can include camera manuals, books, online tutorials, and manufacturer websites. Aperture information can differ between different types of lenses, and may be adjustable on most digital cameras but not on some point-and-shoot cameras. It is best to consult the specific lens manual or manufacturer website for accurate aperture information.

Is anyone able to provide a resource for the proper formulae to use in determining blade dimensions for an aperture mechanism? Free would be best but readily available in a mathematics library is acceptable as well.

If this is a question about a physics problem, try asking it in the physics sections of the forum. It isn't clear what kind of aperture you are asking about.
