The video tutorial explains the concept of refraction of light, using a magic wand and pencil as examples. It describes how light changes direction when passing from one medium to another, such as from water to air, causing objects to appear bent. The tutorial covers the behavior of light rays and how our eyes perceive them, leading to the visual illusion of bending.
