If they are in phase they could intensify if out of phase they could cancel each other.

Yes, think off it like this you drop two stones in the water when those waves hit one other they cause a new wave this is true with light as well light is made up of photons when these protons collied they crumble or shatter, which in turn can in the right spectrum cause you to see light, a good example of this is the Aurora brollies, also known as the northern lights, the light you see is solar rays bouncing around in are atmosphere for a lack of better words, but you also have to remember that light is curved so one person standing at 40* will not see the same thing as the person standing at 41*. I hope this helps.

Yes. Light is made up of particles called Photons which behave like waves. If they collide, the Photons scatter.

It depends which parts of the wave collide. You can get zones of light and dark. Sorry, I forget what they are called. Inhibition zones?

When light waves collide they come to a stand still and become solids with gravity and coalese to develope mass.
