What is the weakest energy wave?
Among the many categories of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, the radiation with the lowest frequency(longest wavelength) carries the least energy. This might be the audio-frequency radiation from speaker-wires,the 60-Hz radiation from utility power lines or AC line-cords within the home, etc.

Why is the alpha radiation the weakest?
Alpha radiation is not necessarily the "weakest" radiation. Alpha radiation is the emmanation of helium nuclei, which is two protons and two neutrons. As such, an alpha particle has a mass of 4 and a charge of +2. As a result, it interacts more readily than any of the other forms of radiation. This means that alpha can be stopped with a few inches or air, or even with a sheet of paper. That does not mean, however, that alpha is the least dangerous - if it is ingested, such as into the lungs, it will be in close proximity to sensitive tissues, making it one of the most dangerous forms of radiation. Its penetrating power is certainly the least, but, "weakest", not by a long shot.
