Consider three media $P$, $Q$, and $R$ with refractive indices $1$, $1.25$, and $1.5$, respectively. The medium $Q$ having a thickness of $5 \text{ cm}$ is placed between extended media $P$ and $R$. An object $O$ is placed at the centre of medium $Q$. If viewed from medium $P$ near the normal direction, the apparent depth of $O$ is $h_1$. For similar observation from medium $R$, the apparent depth is $h_2$. The value of $|h_1 - h_2|$, in $\text{cm}$, is:

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$
