Energy spectra at different distances from a plane nonrelativistic shock are obtained by solving the transport equation for cosmic ray particles. The electron distributions are dependent on the variation of the diffusion coefficient with space and momentum. For selected diffusion coefficients the synchrotron spectra of the accelerated electrons are compared with the IR frequency spectra of observed sources. It is shown that the electron distribution generated by applying an energy dependent diffusion coefficient via the first order Fermi acceleration mechanism exhibits much steeper cutoffs in the high moment regime than distributions obtained using a constant diffusion coefficient.
