Adding to the explanations put forth by @Ysarex if you shoot from the same position with a 35mm and 50mm lenses, then taking the 35mm lens and cropping it to the same angle of view of the 50mm lens will give you pretty much the same image, other than any differences in optical quality between the two lenses and the resolution lost to cropping. It should also be noted that If you shoot from the same distance and use the same aperture the 35mm will have a greater DOF initially, but by cropping the image from the wider angle lens you increase the magnification factor of the cropped image to view both images at the same display size, which will result in a decrease of DOF, and the same corresponding DOF.
