Yes, they do. But they sometimes travel a straight line through bent space.

If light did not travel in a straight line?
Light is a particle that acts like a wave and therefore does not travel in a straight line. light has nothing to do with gravity, the fourth dimension or the 'fabric' of space time.
Do waves travel in a straight line?
no
Light rays travel in a straight line.?
true
Photons travel outward from a light source in?
the photons travel outward from a light source in all directions.
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions
Photons in sun travel is a straight path on the way?
Photons do travel in a straight path. To a person observing the photons though they will appear to be curved because of the gravitational field.

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.
If you just click a flashlight on and off once do photons decay or travel indefinitly?
The light leaving a flashlight when it is turned on and then off will tend to move in a straight line. The problem is that there is air that the light will have to move through. The air will scatter or even absorb the photons. Eventually all the photons will be scattered and absorbed. If the experiment was conducted in outer space, the photons would travel a great distance as there is little in the way of particles to scatter the photons. Here on earth, the atmosphere would absorb the energy as there is relatively little of it released from the flashlight.
Does lightning travel in a straight line?
no it does not
Do waves travel in a straight line?
no
Do ultraviolet photons travel at with a greather speed than yellow photons?
No. All photons travel at the speed of light.
What kind of line does light travel through?
Straight line.
Why does a gulf stream travel in a straight line?
it does not

no
When does light travel in straight line?
no it does not
How do photons travel from a light bulb?
Photons travel outward from a light bulb in all directions.
