The video tutorial explains the properties of light refraction, focusing on how light behaves when it moves from air to water. It highlights that light travels slower in water, causing it to bend and change direction, similar to how a lens works. The tutorial also demonstrates the visual effect of refraction, such as an arrow appearing to change direction. The video concludes with a reminder to subscribe.
