Abstract
The extrapolation of the decay amplitude of the pseudoscalar mesons into two photons from the soft meson limit where it is obtained from the axial anomaly to the mass-shell involves the contribution of the 0 minus continuum. The corrections to the soft-meson limit is estimated and turns out to be very large for the eta and eta'. The results, however, remain consistent with the values of the singlet-octet mixing angle theta =-19.5 degree and the ratio f8/fpi=1.25 obtained from the chiral perturbation theory.
