How is the motion of a wave different than the motion of a particle?

Question

And can you explain your answer(s)?

Answer 1

I'll give you a little visual guide here.

Ok lets think of a piece of string. One guy stands on the end of it and he is moving it up and down and making the string look like a wave. Now the particles in this string are only moving up and down..(there is no forward movement)
The "wave" which is accually the energy that the person on one end is supplying IS moving. The energy moves from one end of the string to the other .. and yes some reflects back. The particles of this string don't move at all.

Answer 2

There is a sum substance that space is made of.
As a wave moving through it is like a wave in water -
often caused by vibrating particles & energy bursts.
A moving particle barely disturbs the medium at all, and has an insubstantial vibration (likely with much more spin).
