The term diameter, relative to a circle, is the width. For a sphere, such as a planet, the distance from the surface to the center is actually the radius, which is one-half of the diameter.

For a cylinder, it depends on the orientation. If you have a can and it is right-side up, then the diameter is not the depth -- it's just the distance from one side of the top "circle" to the other, passing through the center. If you put the can on its side, then the diameter could become the "depth." But this terminology is normally not used for curved geometric solids.

Does a groove decrease the drums diameter by twice the depth of the groove?

Yes, a groove will decrease the effective diameter of the drum, but not by twice the depth of the groove. Instead, the reduction in diameter is equal to the depth of the groove, which is subtracted from the original diameter. Therefore, the overall decrease in diameter is exactly equal to the depth of the groove, not doubled.

What happens to depth of field as you increase the diameter of an iris diaphragm?

As the diameter of the iris diaphragm increases, the depth of field decreases. A larger diaphragm lets in more light, leading to a shallower depth of field with less of the image in focus. Conversely, a smaller diaphragm increases depth of field by letting in less light and making more of the image appear sharp.
