Best Answer

Depends on the characteristics of the tube. Coat the interior surface with a (perfect) mirror finish, and the laser beam will continue quite happily.

Fill the tube with either multiple fiber optic strands, or build it like one huge fiber optic strand and the beam will continue as well.

When light photons are considered to be particles what kind of path do they usually travel?

As particles photons travel in a straight line unless they are diverted by reflection, refraction, or a magnetic or gravitational field. Note that when it comes to gravity it can also be represented that the light continues in a straight line - but the space it travels through is curved so its path appears curved to the outside observer.
