They don't. Well, they do in flat spacetime in the absence of an external force, but it's not a peculiar property of cathode rays; everything does that.

Why do light rays travel in straight lines?
It does not, it travels as a wave
What are 4 the basic properties of light?
1.These rays travel in straight line. 2.These rays can penetrate through small thickness of matter. 3.These rays get deflected by electric and magnetic field in direction opposite to cathode rays.This shows that they are positively charged. 4.These rays produce fluorescence.
How does light rays always travel?
In straight lines (well, "geodesic" might be a better term), and at the speed of light in the medium they're in.
How do negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays?
negatively charged plates affect the path of cathode rays by repealing the cathode rays.
Light rays travel in a straight line.?
true
Why do light rays travel in straight lines?

What does the sun's rays shine in a straight line?
the travel in straight lines because of the atomsphe
Why is it necessary to decrease the pressure in the discharge tube to get the cathode rays?
cathode rays can't travel in air
In cathode ray tube cathode and anode rays travel opposite to each other but they are not neutralized. why?
There is no such thing as anode rays. The cathode rays (aka electron beam) just travels from cathode to anode.
What would happen to cathode rays in a vacuum?
Cathode rays in a vacuum would travel until stopped (or deflected by an electromagnetic field).
Why is it necessary to decrease pressure in the discharge tube to get cathod rays?
why it is necessary to decrease the pressure in the discharge tubbe to get cathode rays
How are cathode rays originated?
its negatively charged particles of matter,Thomson knew that opposites attract but these the positive charged anode,so he reasoned that the paticles must be negatively charged! : )! Wooooo! Go J.J Thomson
What are cathode rays made from?
Cathode rays are a stream of electrons originating from cathode and moving to an anode, when high voltage electric potential is applied to the electrodes sealed in a glass tube containing gas at low pressure.Cathode rays are stream of negativley charged electrons getting detached right from neutral molecues due to high voltage and driven right from cathode to anode.
What is the straight lines out of a sun called?
rays.

Cathode rays were shown to be a stream of?
Cathode rays are electrons.
