WHat happpens when two Lasers meet,is their behavior same as when two Light beams meet that are emitted from a general Electric torch,i want to know what happens
Thanks in advance

Nothing and yes.

But when matter is present at the crossing point, very interesting effects can happen, especially if we're talking about femtosecond pulses meeting in a non-linear crystal (incidently the subject of some of my graduate studies).
