what happens to the amplitude of a wave when the energy increases
When you shorten the wave length, you increase the amplitude.
You would expect the Amplitude to DECREASE as the wave spreads out.

They could undergo constructive interference in which the amplitudes of the two waves combine. For example, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units overlaps with another wave with an amplitude of 2 units, the overlapping amplitude will be 4 units. They could also undergo destructive interference in which the amplitude of one wave is 2 units and the amplitude of the second wave is -2 units. At the point where they meet, the combined amplitude will be zero.

You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.

As the amplitude of a wave increases, the energy increases. In general terms the energy transported by a wave is proportional to the amplitude squared.
The greater the amplitude of a sound wave the louder the sound.
It becomes weaker.

You mean by the word 'volume' the intensity of sound wave. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.
