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 cm is placed between extended media P and R as shown in the figure. 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 h1. For similar observation from medium R, the apparent depth is h2. The value of |h1 - h2|, in cm, is: [figure]
