How does the temperature of a medium affect the speed of sound waves?

• As the temperature of a medium increases, sound waves travel more slowly through that medium.

• Temperature does not affect the speed of sound waves

• As the temperature of a medium increases, sound waves travel more quickly through that medium.

• As the temperature of a medium decreases, sound waves travel more quickly through that medium.
