The video tutorial explains the concepts of reflection and refraction. It begins by discussing how light reflects off surfaces like mirrors, allowing us to see reflections. The tutorial then transitions to refraction, illustrating how light bends when passing through curved glass, affecting its direction. These principles are fundamental in understanding how devices like eyeglasses and microscopes function.
