"It’s still in its infancy. I’ve seen a lot of these A.I. technologies trying to determine smoke, and detect it. I haven’t seen anything super successful yet," said Dr. Craig Clements, director of the San Jose State University Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center.

Introduction: In a tug of war, the one applying more force wins the game. In this session, we will calculate this force that makes one team win and one team lose. We will learn about it in terms of balanced force and unbalanced force. Explanation: Force Force is an external effort that may move a […]

Dispersion of sunlight by the tiny water droplets present in the atmosphere forms the rainbow. Here, the water droplets act as small prisms and disperse light. They first refract and then disperse the incident sunlight, which is then reflected internally, and finally refracted again when it comes out of the raindrop.

We do not see a dispersion of sunlight when it enters the air because the speed of various colors of light in the air is the same.

Beyond safeguarding the utilities equipment, such information can raise awareness of potential disasters. Contreras said that was the case when cameras detected the River Fire in August.

A PG&E spokesperson says the utility is expanding its wildfire detection capabilities by installing hundreds of high-definition fire-watch cameras. Four cameras in the Bay Area are equipped with AI technology.

The beauty of northern and central California mountain tops now offer another eye-opener. Stationed on some telecommunications equipment is the next line of defense against wildfires.

Introduction: Visible Light: Visible light from the Sun comes to Earth as white light traveling through space in the form of waves. Visible light contains a mixture of wavelengths that the human eye can detect. Visible light has wavelengths between 0.7 and 0.4 millionths of a meter. The different colors you see are electromagnetic waves […]

7. The water droplets refract and disperse the incident sunlight, then reflect it internally, and finally refract it again when it comes out of the raindrop, resulting in a spectrum of colors.

Introduction: Nowadays magnets are widely used for many applications. In this session, we will discuss the basics of magnets and their properties, and the way they were and are used. Explanation: Magnets: Magnetic and Non-magnetic Materials: Poles of a Magnet: Fig No. 1.2: Poles of a magnet Compass: Interaction Between Magnets: The north pole of […]

Added Contreras, "We wanna use every tool at our disposal. Every piece of technology at our disposal to improve situational awareness. To improve fire detection capabilities."

Clements said existing technology is likely better at catching the critical moments before a wildfire erupts into massive flames, than cameras. And weather radar and fuel reduction efforts can gain more traction.

When white light passes through a prism, it splits up into its constituent colors. The phenomenon of splitting white light into its constituent colors is called dispersion of light. Here it is due to the refraction of white light by a prism.

Different colors of light bend through different angles w.r.t. the incident ray as they pass through the prism, i.e., the angles of deviation are different for different colors.

"PG&E is expanding its wildfire detection capabilities by installing hundreds of these high-definition fire-watch cameras," said Pacific Gas and Electric spokeswoman Deanna Contreras.

"It rules out false positives faster. It rules out haze or fog or dust. Anything that could be misconstrued as smoke, and it determines that it is smoke," she said.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Despite several days of rain in October, California remains mired in drought conditions. Experts say this raises the specter of more dangerous wildfires. But new technology could mitigate that threat.

3. Different colors of light bend through different angles W.r.t the incident ray as they pass through the prism i.e., the angles of deviation are different for different colors. This results in dispersion of light.

She said 487 of these cameras span the state. But four in the Bay Area have been outfitted with artificial intelligence software.

When the spectrum of colors emerging from a prism is passed through another identical prism placed in an inverted position, a beam of white light emerges from it.

4. Even if the wavelengths of different colored lights are different in the prism, their frequency is the same. The speed of red light is the highest and the speed of violet light is the lowest in the prism.

5. When the spectrum of colors emerged from a prism is passed through another identical prism placed in an inverted position, a beam of white light emerges from it.

Introduction: We can’t directly observe many waves like light waves and sound waves. The mechanical waves on a rope, waves on the surface of the water, and a slinky are visible to us. So, these mechanical waves can serve as a model to understand the wave phenomenon. Explanation: Types of Waves: Fig:1 Types of waves […]

PG&E officials said the pilot program, funded as part of its wildfire safety mitigation plan, continues through the end of this year. If successful, they’d like to expand to cameras statewide.

White light is a mixture of all the colors (wavelengths) at equal intensities. It is nothing but colorless daylight. The sun and other stars produce white light. Artificially, white LEDs and fluorescent light bulbs produce and emit white light. The light given out by incandescent light bulbs is not white. If this white light is incident on a prism, a certain pattern of light is observed, about which we will be learning in this section.
