Solution
When a ray of light travels from one optical medium to another optical medium normally, it suffers no refraction.
Explanation:
For normal incidence, the angle of incidence is zero degrees ($i = 0^\circ$), which means the angle of refraction is also zero degrees ($r = 0^\circ$). Therefore, the light ray passes without any bending or refraction.
