could be two things.

if it does it while idling or accelerating, then its probably a spark plug not firing.

if it only does it while accelerating or under load. then its probably a spark plug wire.

either way, as general maintenance its a good idea to replace all the wires and plugs.

Clogged catalitic converter will cause it to lose power.

Why does your car vibrate when you turn on the radio?

Turning on the radio will not cause your car to vibrate. The only thing I can think of that would even be remotely possible is that the alternator is barely working enough to keep the battery charged. The extra load of the radio could possible cause the engine to miss. This is highly unlikely, but remotely possible. Have the charging system checked.

What is the main cause why the car was vibrating when you put in reverse?

The most probable cause would be the idle control on the engine. When you put a car in gear, there is a "load" put on it (the transmission is using power) and the idle speed normally drops. The idle could be dropping to the point where it becomes unstable and causes the engine to vibrate.
