Case (i) :

When the incident ray strikes normally at the point of incidence it does not deviate from its path

∠i = 0, ∠r = 0 and d = 0

∠r = 0, d = 0

Case (ii) :

If the refractive indices of two media are equal.

n1 = n2 = n

For Snell's law

n sin i = n sin r

 sin i = sin r

∠i = ∠r

Hence the ray passes without any deviation at the boundary.
