The type of oven that operates on short electromagnetic waves is a microwave oven.

Here's why:

* Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from 1 millimeter to 1 meter. This falls within the short end of the electromagnetic spectrum.

* Microwave ovens use these short electromagnetic waves to heat food. The waves cause water molecules in the food to vibrate rapidly, generating heat.
