As temperature increases, the speed of sound increases because molecules in the medium collide more frequently.

The correct statement is:
As temperature increases, the speed of sound increases because molecules in the medium collide more frequently.
As temperature increases, the energy of the molecules in the medium (such as air, liquid, or solid) also increases, which results in faster motion and more frequent collisions among the molecules. This increased kinetic energy allows sound waves to propagate more quickly through the medium.
