The video tutorial explains the properties of concave and convex lenses. It begins by discussing the concave lens, which refracts light similarly to a convex lens but diverges rays instead of converging them. This divergence results in a virtual image formation. The tutorial then compares the behavior of convex and concave lenses, highlighting that convex lenses converge light rays to form real and inverted images. The video concludes by posing questions about image size and position changes with object movement, encouraging viewers to explore these concepts further in future videos.
