is this alternator problem or battery or something else?

   under hard acceleration or at speeds roughly above 35mph iv noticed my battery light seems to be flickering. it never seems to reach the lights full brightness. it just flickers fast but quite dim. was thinking is this the alternator belt slipping making it do this? or is it a bad earth?

   Sign of the alternator just going, or possibly a bad earth
