Hey dude! The focal length of mirror remains d same. i does not depend on the refractive index but just d curvature.
f = R/2
Remembered!

n 4 d lens using lens makers formula

1. for radii of curvatures (let it be biconvex lens)

1/3 = (1.5 - 1)(1/R - 1/-R)
1 = 1.5(2/R)
R = 3 cm

2. for lens in medium

1/f = (1.5/2 - 1)(1/3 - 1/-3)

     = -0.25(2/3)
f = -6 cm which indicates dat it acts as diverging lens which is true.

3. if it is biconcave lens then 1st step is same exept 4 signs and R = -3

n fconcave = 6 cm which acts as converging lens


pls rate me if correct
