TAM vs. whitespace opportunity?

hi guys - what exactly is the difference here? is whitespace a subset of TAM? so if TAM is $1B, whitespace might be $100M that's actually serviceable to a Company? 

from what i understaND, TAM is the total revenue opportunity assuming 100% market share. so is whitespace the portion of that pie that is still available for a company to go get? 

numerical examples would be super helpful

thanks so much

Look up TAM SAM SOM. Pretty common framework and should help answer your question.
