The video tutorial explains the Doppler effect, focusing on how the velocity of a listener or sound source affects the perceived frequency of sound waves. It covers wave distortion when the listener or source moves, and provides a detailed example of calculating wavelength and frequency changes. The tutorial also discusses the impact of velocity on sound perception and analyzes frequency shifts when moving towards or away from the sound source.
