    master.title('Library Management Software')
    master.geometry('1230x650')
    master.configure(background="#98ff98")
    master.iconbitmap("e:\library\image\save.ico")#adding icon on title window
    menubar = Menu(master)
    membermenu = Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
    membermenu.add_command(label = "Member" , command = self.reg_window)
    menubar.add_cascade(label = "Entry", menu = membermenu)
    master.config(menu = menubar)
  def reg_window(self):
    self.newWindow = tk.Toplevel(self.master)
    self.app = registration_window(self.newWindow)

class registration_window(Toplevel):
  def __init__(self, master):
    
    self.master=master  
    #self.transient(master)
    master.title('Registration Form')
    master.geometry('1230x650')
    master.configure(background="#98ff98")
    master.iconbitmap("e:\library\image\save.ico")#adding icon on title window
    item_file = StringVar()
    image_label = Label(master, text="Photo: ", bg="gray74", relief="groove")
    image_label.place(x=755,y=150)
                 
    item_entry = Entry(master, textvariable=item_file,width=35)
    item_entry.place(x=795,y=150)
    self.item_button = Button(master, text="\uD83D\uDCC2", relief="groove",
                             command=lambda:entry_set(item_entry, askopenfilename()))
    self.item_button.place(x=1000, y=150, height=20, width=20)
    def entry_set(entry, text):
      item_entry.delete(0, 'end')
      item_entry.insert(END, text)

    




def main(): 
    root = tk.Tk()
    app = menu(root)
    root.mainloop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Sir, I am learning tkinter for a couple of months and my problem is that i cannot understand where i will use this statement self.transient(master) so that when my the dialog box appear on the registration window where i will use transient statement in my code

The dialog function accepts a parent option. From the documentation:

Makes window the logical parent of the file dialog. The file dialog is displayed on top of its parent window. On Mac OS X, this turns the file dialog into a sheet attached to the parent window.

Typically, in a class that inherits from Toplevel you would use self. However, you're not using inheritance correctly so that won't work without rewriting that class. So first, we need to rewrite that class.

The first thing to do is to call the __init__ method of the superclass. That is the secret sauce that makes your registration_window an actual Toplevel window.

class registration_window(Toplevel):
  def __init__(self, master):
    super().__init__(master)
    ...

Next, you need to remove all other uses of self.master or master and instead use self so that all of the widgets are inside itself. In addition, add parent=self when you call askopenfilename. The class should look like this:

class registration_window(Toplevel):
  def __init__(self, master):

    super().__init__(master)
    self.title('Registration Form')
    self.geometry('1230x650')
    self.configure(background="#98ff98")
    self.iconbitmap("e:\library\image\save.ico")#adding icon on title window
    item_file = StringVar()
    image_label = Label(self, text="Photo: ", bg="gray74", relief="groove")
    image_label.place(x=755,y=150)

    item_entry = Entry(self, textvariable=item_file,width=35)
    item_entry.place(x=795,y=150)
    self.item_button = Button(self, text="yes, this button", relief="groove",
                             command=lambda:entry_set(item_entry, askopenfilename(parent=self)))
    self.item_button.place(x=1000, y=150, height=20, width=100)
    def entry_set(entry, text):
      item_entry.delete(0, 'end')
      item_entry.insert(END, text)

Finally, to use this class you don't need to create another Toplevel. Change reg_window to look like this:

def reg_window(self):
  self.app = registration_window(self.master)
