Using vacuum as an insulator avoids heat loss by conduction. Heat transfer is minimised by reflective silver surfaces that are applied to the flask. This prevents thermal radiation from entering and escaping the flask.
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
A vacuum between two glass sheets will greatly reduce heat loss through convection, and also through conduction. The fact that the glass is coated (to convert it to a mirror) also reduces the loss by radiation.

It is especially designed to reduce heat transfer through conduction, convection, and radiation. A vacuum between two layers reduces the heat transfer through conduction and convection; the fact that the surfaces are mirror-coated also reduces losses through radiation.
Vaccum between thermos walls does NOT prevent radiation, however the other forms of heat transfer(convection and conduction) are more or less eliminated. Radiation effect of heat transfer may be reduced by applying a layer of reflective material inside the bootles - to reflect the emmision back inwards.

This reduces heat transport through conduction and convection.
To reduce heat loss by thermal radiation.
Yes. The thermos flask can reduce the amount of heat travelling from the surroundings to the cold water
There is a dead air space between the liner of the thermos and the outside. This space acts as insulation preventing conduction. In a really good thermos, or Dewar flask, the space is actually a vacuum. Vacuum is an even better insulator than air is, since heat doesn't conduct across a vacuum at all.
Thermos flask is a thermos container used to store liquids like any hot drink. The liquid added to thermos flask will retain the temperature even after some time irrespective of external temperatures.

it consists a double walled glass vessel having a vaccum between the walls.both these walls are silvered on the vaccum side.no heat can enter or leave the inner flask by convection oor conduction across vaccum.a small amount of heat can be gained by the flask through by radiation but the silver surface to control radiant heat and reduce it to a minimum

The main heat loss in a good thermos flask, is due to heat conducted through the material. (Glass or Stainless Steel). There should be little heat lost through the vacuum of the flask.
