Answer:

The \:  greater \:  the  \: density \:  of \:  a  \: medium, \:  the \:  \\  slower \:  the \:  speed  \: of  \: sound.  \: This  \:  \:  \\ observation \:  is  \: analogous  \: to  \: the  \: fact  \: that \:  \\  the  \: frequency  \: of  \: a  \: simple  \: harmonic \:  motion  \:  \\ is \:  inversely  \: proportional \:  to  \: m, \:  the \:  mass  \:  \\ of  \: the  \: oscillating \:  object.  \: The \:  speed \:  of  \: sound  \:  \\ in  \: air  \: is  \: low,  \: because  \: air \:  is  \: easily \:  compressible.

The speed of sound is proportional to the bulk modulus and inversely proportional to the density of the material. ... So, while the higher density tends to give you a smaller speed, the much larger bulk modulus gives a larger speed.

hope it helps ☺
