Answer

The new reactance of the capacitor is $~~650~\Omega$

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for the reactance of a capacitor: $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega_d~C}$ $X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi~f~C}$ We can see that if the frequency is doubled, the reactance of the capacitor decreases by a factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ Since the original reactance was $1300~\Omega$, the new reactance of the capacitor is $650~\Omega$
