> Is 波狀消光 self explanatory by decomposition 波狀 / 消光 ?
We can have an entry for a technical term like this since it would be wrong or at least suboptimal (I presume) to translate it as, say, "wave-shaped extinction".

But it's of limited value, I suppose, since if one is reading Chinese material in which this term appears and one is familiar with the English terms of the domain, then one can probably easily figure out what 波状消光 is from its components.

+ 波狀消光 波状消光 [[bo1zhuang4 xiao1guang1]] /(geology) undulose extinction/
