Answer

$1605\;\rm Hz$

Work Step by Step

We have 5 antinodes and 4 nodes, as seen in the given figure, and as the author told us "both ends of the rod are anti-nodes". We also know that this situation is similar to a sound wave in an open-open tube. So its frequency is given by $$f_m=\dfrac{mv}{2L}$$ And at the fundamental frequency, $m=1$ $$f_1=\dfrac{v_{\rm Al}}{2L}$$ Plugging the known; $$f_1=\dfrac{6420}{2(4)}=\color{red}{\bf 1605}\;\rm Hz$$
