f = Frequency, T= Time period, l = length of thread , g = gravity , t = time taken,

v= speed , S = distance

Focal length will be positive for concave mirror and for convex lens, similarly focal length will be
negative for concave lens and for convex mirror.

Object distance will be positive in every cases.

Image distance will be positive in concave mirror/ convex lens( when object distance will be
more than focal length similarly image distance will be negative when focal length is more than
object distance.

Image distance will be negative when convex mirror or concave lens is given. In the question.
