Radiation-:-Exchange-between-Surfaces

A rmos flask has a double walled bottle and space between walls is evacuated so as to reduce heat flow. The bottle surfaces are silver plated and emissivity of each surface is 0.025. If contents of bottle are at 375 K and temperature of ambient air is 300 K. What thickness of cork (k = 0.03 W/m degree) would be required if same insulating effect is to be achieved by use of cork?
