I roll 3d6 and fire my deathray gun that many inches in a straight line and the line only
touches 3 orks out of a unit of 20.So as long as I hit someone in that unit then the whole
unit is affected by the deathray, Or does only those 3 orks are hit?

Are you still using the old codex? Because with the current codex the Death Ray is just a Blast weapon.

The new codex turned it into a blast.

Im using 6th edition rules. And thanks to all for the quick replies,

In the 5th edition Codex (there wasn't one in 6th), you would cause hits to the unit equal to the number of models hit by the line - so three in your example, but these would still be allocated normally (i.e. closest to the 'Scythe, rather than the models "hit" by the line).
