The video tutorial explores the behavior of images in concave and convex mirrors. It begins with a demonstration using a concave mirror, showing how an image enlarges and inverts as it moves towards the focal point and center of curvature. The tutorial then transitions to convex mirrors, highlighting their ability to provide panoramic views due to light reflection. A comparison is made between convex and regular mirrors, emphasizing the broader field of view offered by convex mirrors.
