The video tutorial explains the differences between four types of graphs related to mechanical waves: position as a function of time, y position as a function of x position, density as a function of time, and density as a function of position. It covers concepts like transverse and longitudinal waves, simple harmonic motion, period, and wavelength. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the axes labels and how they affect the interpretation of the graphs.
