Doubtless, the light source can fail to illumine a seafarer or the enemy submarine. But then how can the seafarer or enemy sailors behold your light source?

It counters intuition that although a light fails to illumine someone, that observer can still behold the light source! Can you please correct my intuition?

I never studied science after secondary school. Please explain like I am (1)5.
