The simplest types of wave motion are vibrations of elastic media, such as air, crystalline solids, or stretched strings. If, for example, when the string of the guitar is plucked and let say a piece of paper is placed on it then the piece of paper will oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion (energy or disturbance transfer).

So we can say that Particles of the medium in wave motion do not travel, they only oscillate about their mean position.
