The answer depends upon the system in which you are observing the signal.
If you are considering a simple sinusoidal wave then definitely there is no relation between amplitude and wavelength. For a fixed wavelength if you increase the amplitude then the rate of change of voltage, ie. slope of the curve, increases and not the frequency, since the frequency is number of cycles per second.
If you are considering the output from an amplifier then definitely there is a relation between output amplitude and the frequency of the signal. There are some bandwidth limitations in amplifiers since the output amplitude of the signal decreases with increase in frequency. This effect is due to the secondary effects exists at higher frequencies.
I hope it is clear to you.

NO!
No, amplitude is commonly associated with the volume of sound as rated it db's
wavelength has to do with the frequency of the wave be it a sound wave or radio wave.
The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength.
I don't know whether you are asking just out of interest or if you are asking because you are taking a class in electronics or communications. But the above is the simplest answer..
But if you get more technical and are dealing with different ways of modulating radio waves it a lot more complicated than that.
Like if you are dealing with AM type radio waves the peak to peak voltage is changed by how loud the volume is when you modulate it:
If you are dealing with FM type radio waves the frequency of the carrier wave is changed according to the volume and tone i.e. bass or treble for example.which does change the wavelength of the carrierwave. The frequency of the carrier wave chances according to modulation.
In College if you are taking Electronics engineering you will usually take Electronic Communications dealing with that in either the first or second semester of your sophmore year!

wavelength has to do with frequency .
imagine that you use a function generator in the lab. if you keep the frequency steady and increase the amplitude then you will see the trace of an oscilloscope growing larger and larger. now if you keep the amplitude steady and alter the frequency the upper and lower value will never change. But, you will see that the trace will shrink...or expand depending on if you increase or decrease the frequency....
now what i am trying to say is that if one of the componetns is changes the other remains the same. so there is no relation to each other

For electro-magnetic(light) and pressure waves(sound)
Amplitude X Wavelength = Speed of wave

There is no relation between wavelength and amplitude

V=F lambda?
So if a certain wave emitter had a certain amount of energy,then the amplitude would be inversely proportionate to the wavelength.

nope, amplitude is independent of the wavelength...
amplitude is the peak voltage/current, while wavelength depends on frequency..
