Why is the formula for the speed of sound in solidsolids different from that in liquids and gases?

We know that sound wave iswaves are longitudinal wavewaves and that the propagation of longitudinal wavewaves depends on the bulk modulus $B$ (Volumevolumetric elasticity). But why is TheWhy, then, does the speed of sound in a solid the dependsdepend on the Young’s modulus $Y$ of the medium and the density, $v = \sqrt{(Y/\text{density of medium})}$$$v = \sqrt{(Y/\text{density of the medium})}?$$ ItThe form should also be the same as for liquids and gases: $v = \sqrt{(B/\text{density of media})}$$$v = \sqrt{(B/\text{density of the medium})}.$$
