A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

it is said that full frame aperture equivalent of 2.8 to aps-c is 4.2. does it mean that shutter speed of aps-c is one stop slower that full frame on the same aperture? given the same focal length equivalent e.g. aps-c 23mm and ff 35mm.

Not in the least, in your example, the pictures would absolutely be able to be differentiated between

If you put a 50 mm lens at f3 on a full frame sensor and take a picture from 10feet away from your subject with the background 10 feet behind your subject. And then take the same photo with the same lens, but now set at F2, on a crump sensor, and you want the same framing you will have to step back to about 15 feet, which means that the ratio of Camara to subject compared to subject to background has gone from one: one to 1.5: one but you have made the aperture small smaller you get the same apparent bokeh however, because of the difference in your physical position, when you took the photo, you introduced different parallax and differences between the apparent size of the subject and the background

However, If you use a 50 mm F2 on a crop sensor and take a photograph 15 feet away from your subject with the background 10 feet behind them then you switch that exact same lens to a full frame camera and use the exact same settings and take the picture from the exact same spot with the exact same background, the full frame picture will have wider framing, (the subject will take up less of the frame) but once you crop it down to the same framing as the crop sensor camera it will be identical. But, if you were to do this, but utilize a larger aperture on the crop sensor camera, then once both pictures are cropped to the same framing, the crop sensor will have less bokeh of the aperture

As I said, a lot of people think a lot of things because they don’t actually understand what’s going on

I only commented on your " There’s no such thing as aperture equivalent. " as being false as it is.

Thus the context is 50/3 on FF and 33/2 on APS-C. In this context the apertures are equivalent, thus your statement was false.
