Asked by hoovan

The medium affects the speed of the wave that passes through it. One factor that affects the speed of a wave is the
of medium.

density

(One can expand: wave speed depends on the medium's density and its stiffness/elasticity. For example, v = sqrt(B/ρ) for sound in a fluid, and v = sqrt(T/μ) for a wave on a string, so higher density generally lowers speed all else equal.)
