The refractive index of a lens describes how much the lens bends light as it passes through it. It quantifies how much the speed of light changes as it enters and exits the lens material. The refractive index varies depending on the type of material the lens is made of.
The focal length of a lens is determined by the curvature of its surfaces and the refractive index of the material the lens is made of. A lens with a shorter focal length will have more curved surfaces or a higher refractive index. Conversely, a lens with a longer focal length will have less curved surfaces or a lower refractive index.
Everything a lens does is the result of the change of refractive index at its surface.If the lens is surrounded by a medium with the same refractive index as the glass,then there is no refraction (bending) of light at the glass surface, and the lens is nolonger a lens. If you could find such a liquid, you might not even be able to see thatthere's a lens down there in it.
The refractive index of the lens of the human eye is approximately 1.406. This refractive index plays a crucial role in bending light rays to focus images on the retina, allowing us to see clearly. Variations in this refractive index can result in vision problems like nearsightedness or farsightedness.
The ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to that in a medium is the refractive index of a lens. It is represented by n = c/v, where n = refractive index , v = characteristic speed and c = speed of light 299792 kmsec-1 or 1 Planck speed.
Usually a convex lens made up a material with higher refractive index would act as a converging device when kept in a medium having lower refractive index such as air. But when it is kept in a liquid as said with higher refractive index then convex lens would become as a concave lens. Now it would diverge the rays entering through it right from the liquid with higher refractive index.
None. The radius of the lens depends on its shape, the refractive index depends on the material that the lens is made from.

The formula for calculating a lens' refractive power is as follows:n = (D * R) + 1, where n = refractive power, D = optical power in diopter, and R = lens curvature radius.A lens clock will give you an estimated optical power, d and from there you can work out the curvature radius by using the formula:R = (0.53)/d.A lensometer will give you the actual optical power, D.Input the R and D into the first formula and you will get the lens' refractive index, n.

A lens works by the difference in refractive index between the material in the lens and the surrounding medium. So a lens put in a medium that has exactly the same refractive index would not be a lens, it wouldn't bend light at all.
The power of a lens depends on the differences in the refractive indices of the environment and the lens material. A glass lens immersed in water will loose power (a positive lens will focus at a greater distance). (This is for normal glass with refractive index greater than water - there could be glasses with refractive index less than water in which case the lens would gain power)
No it is impossible to make lens from clay because it is completely opaque and has nil refractive index.
The curvature of spectacle glass can be determined using a lensometer, which measures the curvature of the lens surface. The refractive index of spectacle glass can be determined by analyzing the way light passes through the lens and using equations that relate angles of light refraction to the refractive index of the material.
The "nature" of it is the same as if it weren't immersed. However, if it has the same refractive index as the material it's immersed in, it will no longer have any discernable effect on the refraction of light; from the outside it will appear to just be another part of the liquid (it may well disappear from sight, since it's no longer visually distinguishable from the liquid itself).
