Explanation:

The magnetic spectrum consists invisible and visible part of the spectrum. The invisible part consists of radio waves. These are waves used for radios, tvs, and cellphone communications. They satisfy all the properties of transverse waves.

The visible part comes from light. This is the part that is visible to the naked eye. Examples are ultraviolet rays, the sun, neon lights etc. To determine how hot something is, the visible portion is used. The brighter the object, the hotter it is.  Thus, the brightness of the stars can be determined by the color of the light emitted. The visible rays satisfy all the properties of transverse waves. However, light is considered a dual nature - it has wave and electron-like properties.
