The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment to prove that light travels in a straight line. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a list of materials needed, including cardboards and a candle. The tutorial then provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to set up and conduct the experiment, ensuring the holes in the cardboards are aligned with the candle's height. Finally, it concludes by confirming that if the light is visible through all cardboards, it proves that light travels in a straight line.
