Dear Sir, While I was dealing with the ray diagrams of refraction of lenses, this doubt arose in mind. Why does a ray of light pass through the optic center without deviation, even though it goes through another medium of refractive index greater than air that is glass also it does not incline at an angle of 90 degrees. According to refraction, it is supposed to be refracted and pass coincidently on the principal axis. Please answer, thank you
