As all the mediums do not have the same combination of substances their DENSITY changes ....
In a DENSER medium it is tough for the light to propagate so the speed of light decreases if the medium becomes denser....

and in a Rarer medium it is easier for the light to propagate ( as there are lesser particles when compared to denser medium).....

thus the speed of light increases in denser medium...

so speed of light depends upon the medium of propagation..
