In this paper, we illustrate an application of the Laplace transformation for finding the quantum mechanical Reflection and Transmission coefficients for a particle through a one-dimensional vertical step potential. Quantum mechanics is one of the branches of physics in which the physical problems are solved by algebraic and analytic methods. By applying the Laplace transformation, we can find the quantum mechanical Reflection and Transmission coefficients for a particle through a one-dimensional vertical step potential. Generally, the Laplace transformation has been applied in different areas of science and engineering and makes it easier to solve the problems inengineering applications. It is a mathematical tool which has been put to use for solving the differential equations without finding their general solutions. It has applications in nearly all science and engineering disciplines like analysis of electrical circuits, heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, nuclear physics, process controls, quantum mechanical problems,etc.
