The ray of light travelling from an optically denser medium to optically rarer medium bends

Ray optics is based on the assumption that light travels in a straight line. Diffraction effects (observed when light propagates through small apertures/slits or around small obstacles) disprove this assumption. Yet the ray optics assumption is so commonly used in understanding location and several other properties of images in optical instruments. What is the justification?

When a monochromatic ray of light travels from an optically denser medium to optically rarer medium then critical angle is the angle of incidence for which angle of refreaction is
