The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment using a ruler to create different sounds by changing the length of the overhang. It explains how air particles interact with the oscillating ruler to produce sound waves. Slow oscillations result in deep sounds, while fast oscillations produce high sounds. The tutorial includes animations to visualize air particles and compares the effects of different oscillation speeds on sound frequency.
