Question re: Lens

[shayebryd]

I know for many this is just general knowledge....but can someone explain to me what this means.
I have a Canon Rebel XTi, the kit lens is a Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6.
I am just finishing class #2 and looking over my cameras Aperture and it ranges from f/5.6-36
What does the f/3.5-5.6 mean on my lens???
Thank you in advance! :rolleyes:

I can't explain it nearly as well as this site can:

The top of the page lets you change the aperture settings "virtually" and see what happens to the image. Also, check on the link to "aperture" and you'll learn much more about it!
