Two pieces of steel wire have lengths of L and 4L. The longer wire has a larger cross section which makes the wire four times thicker if you consider the same length as the first one. The wires are each fixed at both ends and stretched so that the tension in the longer wire is sixteen times greater than in the shorter wire. If the fundamental frequency in the shorter wire is 100 Hz, what is the frequency of the second harmonic in the longer wire?

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
