How A Condenser Mic Works
Sound and acoustic engineering is incomplete without the existence of microphones. There may have been bigger and better inventions in the field of communication and telephony, but none can match that of a microphone. It is one of the most essential components of modern living. Life is practically impossible without microphones. Almost all modern communicating devices, whether it is the mobile phone, or the hearing aid, or tape recorders, or karaoke systems, or megaphones, or television and radio broadcasting systems would seize to exist, if it is not for microphones.
Different forms and types of microphones or mics are available, catering to different fields and personnel. Not all of these are meant to be used for recording, while some of them are exclusively made for doing so. There are dynamic microphones, condenser microphones, tube microphones, USB microphones, ribbon microphones etc. The most modern ones include laser microphone, liquid microphone, and MEMS microphone and so on. Each one of them is special in their own way, and is extensively deployed in a particular field of another.
Condenser mics is a very unique type of microphone. It possesses a diaphragm, which does the work of a capacitor's plate. The sound waves, on falling in the empty space between the diaphragms, change its frequency. Condenser mics are further sub-categorized into DC-biased condenser microphone and high frequency (or radio frequency) condenser microphones. The capacitor plate needs to be charged. But the charge has to be static and of a fixed value. It is this charged element or capsule that ensures sensible constancy of the audio frequency. The overall circuit is termed as the ‘follower' or the ‘impedance converter'. Newer models, though, can possess two diaphragms, ensuring better sound reception and recording standards.
Nowadays, smaller sized condenser microphone is also available, which makes mounting and recording work quite easy. Newer variety of condenser mic, the electret condenser microphone, is also available in the market, which deploys knowledge of electrostatics and magnetism in the conventional condenser mic circuitry. Due to its specifications, condenser mics are used in diverse field, ranging from karaoke microphones, to telephone transmitters, to high fidelity microphones for recording. Most of these mics are widely used in recording studios and laboratories. This is due to the fact that using condenser mics; one can produce an audio signal which is high in quality. The small size also ensures maximum accuracy and compactness. A condenser mic needs a source of power, which is wither provided by a small battery, or via inputs on the microphone, like a phantom powering system.

What exactly is a Condenser Microphone?
I'm looking up some components for low-budget filmmaking, and for the microphone, it says it's a "Line + Gradient Compact Shotgun Condenser Microphone"
Now, I don't know any sound/microphone terms, in fact, the only word in the whole product name that I know is "Microphone." So can someone explain to me what each word means, and give me the gist of what this microphone does so that a bumbling high schooler would know what you're talking about? 
Thank you!
Check out this link:
It is a store, but it does have a section in the middle of the page that explains the different type of microphones. And also a section to guide you through choosing the correct microphone for you application. No sense spending $300 dollars for a mic when one that costs much less fulfills your needs.
