The video explains the phenomena of apparent sunrise and delayed sunset, which occur due to the refraction of light in Earth's atmosphere. It introduces an experiment using a laser and different mediums to demonstrate refraction. The video discusses how light bends when passing through mediums of varying densities, affecting the speed of light. Snell's Law is introduced, explaining the relationship between angles of incidence and refraction. The concept of total internal reflection is also covered, highlighting its occurrence when the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.
