cardiod vs supercardiod vs hypercardiod???

[RockNRoling]

Can some one help me to understand the difference between these mics? I know they all refer to the pattern that the microphone picks up, but I can't find anything that actually tells the difference between the three..

THANKS

Those names refer to how much of the surrounding sources are picked up by a microphone.
