The "opacity" (usu written as symbol "k") of lead which I think you're
thinking of is a different but related issue.
Having done, and taught, a little bit of Radio propagation theory in a
past incarnation (over twenty-five years ago!!), 'Refractive Index' was
an indication of how far a radio wave (which light consists of) is bent
towards/away from the normal as it passes from one medium to another.
As light does not pass through Lead, I guessed it would have a high
refractive index.


That would be factually inaccurate. Light can pass through most
substances if it is strong enough.

So-called "transparent" objects have substances that interact very
little with light photons. For an interaction to happen the photon
normally must have a frequency/wavelength with the energy of an orbital
electron in the substance. Very high energy photons can interact with
the nucleus.

X-rays and gamma rays are a form of light. They are known to regularly pass
through lead.


"X-rays and .... regularly pass through lead"?? Really?? I thought that
was why Radiographers regularly wore lead aprons!!


You seem to be a bit of a black and white thinker.
Things are either "stopped" or "go through" a substance.

Unfortunately it's not something that is eaily cured by mr google.

The Refractive Index - n - of a medium is a measure for how much the
velocity of light is reduced inside the medium. The velocity of light
in a medium can be expressed as
v = c / n (1)
where
v = velocity of light in the medium (m/s, ft/s)
c = speed of light in air or vacuum - approximately 3 10^8 m/s
(or 299792458 m/s)

Andre-Marie Ampere was born to Jean-Jacques & Jeanne-Antoinette Desutieres
Sarcey-Ampere in their rented apartment at no. 44 Quai Saint-Antoine, Lyon
2e Arrondissement(4E49:56,45N45:52) on Friday 20 January 1775. His baptism
record at the nearby Saint-Nizier church dated "Le vingt-deux janvier" did
not indicate birth time (BR/bio). Guesstimates abound, mine is 8:20 PM LMT.

Yes ... though things cab get bent on their way through other things!

Unfortunately it's not something that is eaily cured by mr google.

"mr google"?? Who's that??

Edvards Liedskalnins was born to Andrejs & Mine Liedskalnins in Smohne
(26E52:54,57N14:50)Namsadi, Stameriena parish, Livonia, Russian Empire
on Wednesday 12 January 1887, and was baptized 22 February 1887 (A/BR).
Predawn birth time unverified (sunrise 8:42), guesstimate ~8:00 AM LMT.
