Given:

Distance between the diverging and converging lens is 28 cm and the converging lens has a focal length of 38 cm. Parallel light falls on diverging lens and comes out parallel from the converging lens.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

If parallel light falls on the diverging lens, it diverges. If that divergent beam is traced backwards as they meet at the focal point of the diverging lens. Only if that focal point is also the focal point of the converging lens then the diverging beam comes out as a parallel beam from converging lens.

This, if diverging lens has focal length and converging lens has focal length
