The video tutorial from Moomoomath discusses the nature of light as a form of energy that travels in waves and particles. It highlights that most objects do not produce their own light, with the sun, fires, and lamps being primary sources. Humans perceive light in seven colors, forming the acronym Roy G Biv. The video also explains shadows as areas where light is blocked by an object, requiring both a light source and an object. Shadows can vary in size depending on the distance from the light source. The tutorial concludes with a reminder of daily uploads from Moomoomath.
