The video tutorial explains how to calculate the fundamental and second harmonic frequencies of a tube open at both ends. It introduces the problem, discusses the necessary formulas for tubes open at one or both ends, and explains the concept of harmonics. The tutorial then demonstrates the calculation of the fundamental frequency using the given speed of sound and tube length, followed by the calculation of the second harmonic frequency.
