Yes, but with negative film one can print highlight detail up to 3-4 stops overexposed, and the entire image will be visible.

* the more light, the smaller the opening needs to be (more light= higher f/stops) and the less light, the larger the f/stop (no light= small f/stops).
Actually, it's "more light = smaller f-stops". f/16 is a smaller number than f/11. Remember, these are fractions, focal length over a number.
