1000Hz. The second harmonic has double the first harmonics (fundamental) frequency. This is because the wavelength halves.
As Speed = Wavelength x Frequency
Frequency = Speed / Wavelength
Therefore if the wavelength halves, the frequency is two times bigger

1000 Hz. Second harmonic has a frequency twice the fundamental frequnecy which is also the First harmonic.
