Logic behind Solr creating files in .../data/index path.

All,

While we post data to Solr... The data get stored in   "//data/index"  path
in some multiple files with different file extensions...
Not worrying about the extensions, I want to know how are these number of
files created ?
Does anyone know on what logic are these multiple index files  created in
data/index  path ... ? If we do an optimize , The number of files get
reduced...
Else, say some N number of files are  created.. Based on what parameter it
creates? And how are the sizes of file varies there?


Hope I am clear about the doubt I have...
