Using the sequential definition of uniform continuity to show $sin(x)$ is uniformly continuous on $mathbb{R}$

I want to show $sin(x)$ is uniformly continuous on $mathbb{R}$. Let ${a_{n}}$ and ${b_{n}}$ be sequences such that $lim_{ntoinfty}[b_{n} - a_{n}] = 0$. Then, we need to show $lim_{ntoinfty} |sin(b_{n}) - sin(a_{n})| = 0$. But, I cannot prove this equality. Can someone please help me?

By the mean value theorem:



$sin(b_{n}) - sin(a_{n})= cos (t_n)(b_n-a_n)$ with $t_n$ between $a_n$ and $b_n$.



Can you proceed ?
