Limit of integral sequence

I am asked to prove that
$$lim_{ntoinfty}int_0^{frac{pi}{2}}sin(n^4cos t)dt=0$$
I think you have to calculate
$$int_0^{frac{1}{n}}sin(n^4cos t)dt$$
and
$$int_{frac{1}{n}}^{frac{pi}{2}}sin(n^4cos t)dt$$
So that you can somehow integrate the second one by parts, but I can't quite figure out how.

$$int_{0}^{pi/2}sinleft(mcos tright),dt stackrel{tmapstofrac{pi}{2}-t}{=}int_{0}^{pi/2}sin(msin t),dtstackrel{tmapstoarcsin u}{=}int_{0}^{1}frac{sin(mu)}{sqrt{1-u^2}},du$$
and now we may invoke the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma.
Since $int_{0}^{1}frac{du}{sqrt{1-u^2}},du$ is finite, the limit of the LHS as $mto +infty$ is zero.

The LHS actually is $frac{pi}{2} H_0(m)$, with $H_0$ being a Struve function.
