    energy decreases

    Explanation:

    The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of amplitude of a wave.

    Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement of the wave particle from its mean position.

    So, as the amplitude goes on decreasing, the energy of the wave is also decreasing.
