Abstract
A frequency adjustment method of a vibration element includes adjusting a resonance frequency of the vibration element by irradiating the vibration element, which includes a vibrating arm having a first principal surface and a second principal surface that are in a front and back relationship with each other with an energy ray, to remove a part of the vibrating arm on the first principal surface, and in which an activation amount by the energy ray on the second principal surface of the vibrating arm is smaller than an activation amount by the energy ray on the first principal surface of the vibrating arm.
