Herein we consider a static wormhole as a waveguide and determine the conditions for full transmission through the wormhole waveguide for a quantum particle satisfying Schrodinger equation. We find that the waveguide is transparent when the angular momentum L of the quantum particle is 0 and for $$L\ne 0$$ when the de Broglie wavelength of the quantum particle is a multiple depending on the inverse of the angular momentum times the throat radius of the wormhole.
