5 (a) In this question you will be assessed on using good English, organising
information clearly and using specialist terms where appropriate.
Infrared (IR) radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation. All objects emit and
absorb IR radiation. Energy can also be transferred by conduction and convection.
Explain how the design of the vacuum flask, shown in Figure 5, reduces energy
transfer from a hot liquid by conduction, convection and IR radiation.
