The video tutorial, led by Sarah, explores the concept of rainbows. It begins with an introduction to the question of what a rainbow is, followed by an explanation of sunlight as white light composed of various colors. The tutorial then describes how rainbows form when sunlight passes through rain droplets, dispersing into seven visible colors. It highlights that rainbows are optical illusions created by our perception. The video also mentions two additional colors, ultraviolet and infrared, which are invisible to the human eye. Fun facts, such as the existence of moon bows, are shared before concluding the session.
