When two pulses meet up with each other while moving through the same medium, they have a tendency to bounce off each other and return back to their origin?

The answer is False. When two pulses meet up with each other while moving through the same medium, they do not have a tendency to bounce off each other and return back to their origin. The effect of one of the pulses on the displacement is "destroyed" or canceled by the effect of the other pulse.
