  In this work, we investigate the effects of plasma and the coupling parameter
$\beta>0$, on the thermodynamic properties and weak gravitational lensing by
the Schwarzschild-like black hole in the Starobinsky-Bel-Robinson gravity
(SBRG). We observe that the horizon radius and the corrected entropy of the
Schwarzschild-like black hole in the SBRG are not much sensitive to the
parameter $\beta$. On contrary the energy emission rate of the
Schwarzschild-like black hole in the SBRG is sensitive to the parameter $\beta$
and decreases with increase in the values of the parameter $\beta$. We see that
the Schwarzschild-like black hoe in the SBRG is stable as the thermodynamicl
temperature is positive for different values of the parameter $\beta$. Moreover
we observe that the deflection angle of photon beam by the black hole in
uniform plasma, nonuniform self-interacting scalar plasma and non-singular
isothermal gas sphere reduces with the parameter $\beta$, against the impact
parameter $b$. We see that the deflection angle enhances with increase in the
concentration of the plasma fields for all the three types of plasma media.
Further we find that the magnification of the image due to lensing increases in
a higher concentration of plasma field. It is interesting to notice that the
image magnification in uniform plasma is much higher as compared to the one in
nonuniform plasma field. We compare our results with those for the
Schwarzschild black hole of General Relativity. Further, effective force is
also calculated for the current analysis.
