Wave interference may occur when two waves that are traveling in opposite directions meet. The two waves pass through each other, and this affects their amplitude. Amplitude is the maximum distance the particles of the medium move from their resting positions when a wave passes through.

Dear student 
he pulses will pass through each other without any change in their shapes.
The pulses continue to retain their identity after they meet, but the moment they meet their wave profile differs from the individual pulse.  
Good Luck
