Terminology Question



I would appreciate the response, from anyone interested, to the following
three questions:

1. How should one pronounce "Chladni" whose nodal 2-D sand patterns
interest us all but particularly provoked Faraday? How about a phonetic
spelling or some homophones?

2. With the apparatus variously described as Confocal Reflectors, Mirage,
ContaConcave Mirrors etc., is the floating image best described as: Real,
Virtual, a Hologram, some combination of these, or something else? Various
practitioners and advertisers seem to use different terminology.

3. Is there a catalog/commercial source for resistive paper (of the kind
used to plot equipotential lines)?

Thank you.
