When taking photographs in dim lighting conditions it is best to use a camera set to a small f#. Why is this the case?
The smaller the f-number, the larger the iris in the lens opens up, and the more light it lets in. There are a whole lot of other factors that come into play though (exposure time, ISO setting, whether you’re using a tripod, how much light there is), so you’d better do some homework.

Can you refer some professional sites for this?
National Geographic site contains professional tips but applicable to all. I found kodak, and other camera manufacturers do have very nice tips for professional photography.
